"try and ..." "try to..."

'try and ...' and 'try to...' These two expressions are often heard. I just don't comprehend the differences between them. Could you explain it to me, please?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

PBF

Hi PBF I can't think of any differences in actual meaning: Try to do it tomorrow. Try and do it tomorrow. Try and sounds less formal, more colloquial.

"Try to" and "Try and" have the same meaning.

But "try to" is gramatically correct whereas "try and" is not.
