Note
One spelling carries both halves of the verb. Without an object it describes reach or size: a range that extends across borders, a road that extends for miles. With one it describes action on something: a deadline lengthened, a limb straightened, or, in its courteous use, something offered, as when she extends an invitation, a welcome or her sympathy. When an object follows, ask whether it is being enlarged or being given.
