Is it correct to say He reached safe Please speak loud etc?
- 'He reached safe.' is incorrect. The noun 'safe' is a word for a metal strongbox. I don't think that he was reaching for a safe. If he was, then it should say 'a safe' or 'the safe'. The other use of the word 'safe' is an adjective, a person can't reach for an adjective. The noun form for the adjective 'safe' is 'safety'. A correct sentence is 'He reached safety.' (a safe place).
