Hi

make for is a phrasal verb with the meaning 'move in the direction of smth.''

Make for the town?

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

Actually, I thought it was a phrasal verb.
I was looking it up in dictionary.com but, I
don?t know why, I missed it. :D I have gone
to the site again, and I found it! :P

Thanks indeed!

Have a magical Saturday night!
