Hi, it's Georgina from BBC Learning English.
Today we look at 5 ways of using 'run'.
The most common way of using 'run'
is to move your legs faster than a walk.
I had to run for the bus this morning. I was so late.
'Run' can be used when we need to go somewhere
unexpectedly for a short time.
Oh no, there's no milk! I have to run to the shop later.
Another way to use 'run'
is to talk about a regular transport service.
The trains normally run every hour until quite late.
You can use 'run' to show that
someone is the boss of a project.
My cousin runs a clothes shop.
Lastly, we use 'run' when we have to leave in a hurry.
Roy: Hurry up! You're late for the meeting!
Georgina: Oh no, I've got to run! Bye for now!
