"Toward" is specifically American usage; elsewhere "towards" would be correct.

No it isn't. "Toward" is also used in British English even though "towards" is more common.

If I am not mistaken, I just want to summarize.

1. When we say:" in the end of May" then it will be 29, 30, or 31 May

2. When we say:" at the end of May" then it will be 31 May

3. how about " towards the end of May?

Thanks

I incline to think that "in the end of May" and "at the end" both mean the same: 28-29-30-31 of May. Am I wrong?

"In the end of May" isn't used as commonly as "at the end of May". But they both mean the same thing: around the last few days of May.
