It's been a while since high school, so it's possible that we were taught "marcher
vers," but I certainly don't recall being taught this. It's interesting.

So, to make sure I understand, "J'ai marché vers la gare" makes no comment about
either my intent to go to the train station or whether I actually got there,
correct? As such, an approximate English translation would be "I walked toward
the station."
