Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Reach"

A: To extend your arm so that you can grab something or someone.
"I reached for the cereal, but it is too high on the shelf."
"Mary reached for her son when he walked toward the road."
For people it can also mean to contact.
"I tried to reach you all weekend, but you never answered the phone."
It can also mean to get someone to understand something.
"I tried to explain how important this is to me, but I never reached him."
"You'll never reach him with logic. you have to try flattery."

A: Literally speaking, it means that an object is too high up, requiring you to stretch for it, or get something to stand on so you can reach it.
Figuratively, it means that a reference someone just made, or an accusation someone just made was so obscure or so far-fetched, that you figuratively had to "stretch" to come to that conclusion.

A: We would not say 'I'm reaching out you', the correct saying is 'I'm reaching out to you'.

'I'm reaching out to you' means to initiate contact with somebody. It can be likened to 'asking for help' or 'asking to help' depending on the context.

For example:

"I reached out to my friend today, as I had not heard from her for a while." - It means I reached out to check on her, to see if she is okay.

"I'm struggling to cope with the stress from school, so I'm reaching out to you for help." (Perhaps said to a teacher or classmate)

"Thanks for reaching out to me." - This means 'thanks for your help' or 'thanks for asking to help'

"To reach out to" roughly means 'To ask to help' or 'To ask for help'

This was difficult to explain, I hope it made sense and can help you! (:

A: So reach can have three meanings. One is a verb form that means you are attempting to grab something with your hands. For example, you reach up to get the box off the top shelf. It can also be used to describe an object that is close enough to you to grab without really moving. For example, the coffee cup on the table in front of you is within your reach.

The second is used as a verb to describe you getting somewhere, such as the top of a mountain. For example, he climbed Mount Everest and reached the top!

The third is used to describe someone meeting their goals. For example, if your goal was to run a 4 minute mile and you managed to do it, you could say you reached your goal.

Hope this helps!

A: They mean almost the same... The only difference is that the word "arrive" is more appropriate to use when you are coming in a destination.

I am going to arrive there in five minutes. (place - there)

Finally, I have arrived in Manila! (place - Manila)

We can also use the word reach in these sentences:

I am going to reach that place in five minutes.

Finally, I have reached Manila!

The word "reach" gives us the context that you are in a rush.

You can use either of the two, but "arrive" sounds more interesting for me. ^^

A: "Reaching for" means you already know where it is. The person just needs to grab it. For example the cigarettes. He likely already knew that the cigarettes were there, he just needed to reach out and grab them.

Using "looking for" would mean that the person does not know where the object is. For example: "he looked for his cigarettes." This would mean that the person does not know where the cigarettes are, and thus has to look for them.
