Explain the Difference Between "Threw" and "Through"
Hello teacher, last weekend in the park, I overheard a child tell her parent, "I threw the ball through the hoop!" I paused for a moment, confused by how similar the words sounded but realized they meant totally different things. Can you please explain the difference between "threw" and "through."

A good day to you, Flowers&Gardens.
Threw is the past tense of the verb "throw".
In a sentence: My son threw the ball so hard it bounced back to him.
Through can be used as a preposition, adverb, or adjective.
As a preposition, it can mean as a result of an action. We can say, "I graduated through my perseverance and effort."
As an adverb, through means the movement from one side to the other. For example, "The walk through the park is tiring because it's so hot today."
As an adjective, this word can mean having finished using or doing something. In a sentence, "Return the book when you're through reading it."
