Come To, Reach or Reaches?

To reach, in the sense here considered, is to come to by motion or progress. To reach is to come to from a distance that is actually or relatively considerable; to stretch the journey, so to speak, across the distance, as, in its original meaning, one reaches an object by stretching out the hand.
