from a particular time and after
From a certain time and for all the time after that.
Pola penggunaan:
from [time] onward
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes say *"since then onward"* or *"from then and on"*. Use **either** "since then" **or** "from then onward", but not both together. British English often uses **"onwards"** instead of **"onward"**, with the same meaning: "from 2010 onwards".
Sinonim
thereafter (More formal; mainly written, often in legal or academic style.)
|
from then on (Very common informal/neutral phrase with the same meaning.)
Antonim
until then (Marks the time before a point, the opposite direction in time.)

forward to the next place or stage
Forward to the next place or part of something.
Pola penggunaan:
move onward to [place/stage]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners often use **"onward"** where **"forward"** or **"ahead"** is more natural in everyday speech. In most casual situations, say "We moved forward" instead of "We moved onward". **"Onwards"** is also common, especially in British English, with no change in meaning.
Sinonim
forward (Most common everyday word; not as literary or formal as "onward".)
|
ahead (More informal; often used about direction or progress.)
Antonim
backward (Describes movement or progress in the opposite direction.)

continuing to the next place or stage

Pola penggunaan:
onward [noun]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes say *"go to my onward flight"* when they mean *"take my onward flight"* or *"catch my onward flight"*. Also, **"onward"** as an adjective is almost always used **before** a noun ("onward journey"), not after it.
Sinonim
further (Can be used similarly before some nouns ("further travel"), but is more general and less tied to movement.)
Antonim
return (As in "return journey" or "return flight", it describes coming back instead of continuing onward.)
