My grandfather used to care for us when Mom was out shopping.


HI,
Is it correct to view "care for us" in the above as "look after us?" Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

As far as I know, care for= look after.

I wish loving all children would be obligatory in all religions.
