Ford damaged gate... angry? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
get across
'ford' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'damaged gate angry?' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angry?' becomes 'cross' (cross can mean annoyed or angry).
'gate' with letters rearranged gives 'geta'.
'geta'+'cross'='GET ACROSS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for get across that I've seen before include "Go over - explain" , "go over viaduct, say" , "Manage to communicate" , "Express" , "Communicate successfully" .)
