to go to a shop or supermarket to buy something · to run an errand that involves going to a retail establishment
This versatile phrase is perfect when you need to mention going out to a shop for a specific reason, big or small! 🛒 Whether it's for groceries, new clothes, or just a quick item, it covers all bases without being too vague. ✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'run to the store' (which is on the excluded list) implies speed or urgency, 'make a trip to the store' suggests a more deliberate, planned, or slightly longer journey. It’s like saying, 'I'm making a special effort to go there.' Use it when the store isn't just around the corner, or when the visit is the main event of a short outing. 🚗💨
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'make a trip to the store'? A. When you've already bought everything and are leaving the store. B. When you're planning to go to the supermarket later to get groceries for dinner. C. When you're trying on clothes in the fitting room.
