Grammar
Choice of preposition: to VS toward(s) + in VS inside
Dear teachers,
Could you please tell me which preposition should be used in this passage and why?
Just occasionally, someone would feel curious enough to ask him what he was doing, and every time his answer would be the same: “I´m still writing the book. It should have been finished last year, but I can´t / couldn't (?) get it right”. And that was all we (had) ever learned (1) about / from him.
Because no one (had) ever visited his house, either, I remember once running up (2) to / toward(s) the house to see what he was doing. Icrept up (3) to / toward(s) the window trembling and looked (4) in / inside expecting to see our writer typing furiously at his desk.
All the best,
Hela

Hela“I´m still writing the book. It should have been finished last year, but I can´t / couldn't (?) get it right”.He still can't get it right.
HelaAnd that was all we (had) ever learned (1) about / from him.There are a million things we might have learned about him that would be irrelevant here.
