I believe the answer is:

strolls

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strolls that I've seen before include "Takes a turn" , "Ambles" , "Walks" , "Saunters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
