from a particular time and after
From a certain time and for all the time after that.
استعمال کا انداز:
from [time] onward
عام غلطی:
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".

forward to the next place or stage
Forward to the next place or part of something.
استعمال کا انداز:
move onward to [place/stage]
عام غلطی:
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.

continuing to the next place or stage
Going on to the next place, time, or part of something, used before a noun.
استعمال کا انداز:
onward [noun]
عام غلطی:
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.
ہم معنی الفاظ
further (Can be used similarly before some nouns ("further travel"), but is more general and less tied to movement.)
متضاد الفاظ
return (As in "return journey" or "return flight", it describes coming back instead of continuing onward.)
