I'm Alice.

Brian.

Oh, look at the time.

It's almost five o'clock, and I still need to run to the post office.

Mm, Maybe I can get there before it closes.

The bus runs down 14th Street every few minutes, but before I go, I want to tell you about a word that can be a verb or a noun run.

It has more meanings than any other word in the English language, but many are.

Guess a ble by how they are used.

Listen again to how I use the verb run a moment ago and see if you can guess its meaning.

And I still need to run to the post office Here.

Run means to make a quick trip to a place to get or buy something.

You can, for example, run to a post office, a store or somewhere else.

Now listen to the other part of what I said again.

Try to guess what the verb run means here.

The bus runs down 14th Street every few minutes.

This use of run refers to public transportation, especially Busses and trains.

It means to travel along a usual route or at usual times along the route.

Okay, time to run to the post office.

Join us again soon for MAWR about run, and that's everyday grammar.
