1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,799 I ran into an old high school friend last weekend and we went into an 2 00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:10,279 antique shop to chat. While I was there, I ran across some old 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,960 jazz records. You remember records, right? I guess we spent too much 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,120 time there without buying anything because the owner of the shop told us to run 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,839 along. It was okay. I was running behind and needed to run back 6 00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:38,039 to the office. Let's study together. Welcome to another Happy English podcast coming 7 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:42,479 to you from New York City. And here's your English teacher, Michael. 8 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,600 All right, thank you, Johnny. Thanks everyone. It's Michael here from 9 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,000 Happy English and I help people speak English better. And this is Happy English 10 00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:03,320 Podcast, Episode six sixty seven. Phrasel verbs with run. The other day 11 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,280 I showed you some idioms with run followed by an adjective. Today we'll look 12 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:15,680 at phrasal verbs that use run. Oh yeah. Check out episode two twenty 13 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,879 two to see a different set of phrasal verbs that use run. Also, 14 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,799 keep in mind run is any regular verb, and the three parts are run, 15 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:34,799 ran, and run. Also, all of these phrasal verbs are not 16 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:42,079 separable. The first one is run along. We use run along as a 17 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:49,519 standalone phrase in casual English to politely ask someone to go away. For example, 18 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,480 I'm sorry, but I have a meeting now, so you'll have to 19 00:01:53,599 --> 00:02:00,280 run along. We can talk later. Run along. I just started cooking 20 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:08,080 dinner. You have to do your homework now, so run along. Next, 21 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,719 we have run across and run into. Run across means to find something 22 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:24,199 unexpectedly. You run across something. Here are some examples. I ran across 23 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:31,120 an interesting news article today. Jack ran across his high school yearbook when he 24 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,919 was cleaning out the closet. I ran across a book by John Lennon when 25 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,479 I was shopping in a used book shop. On the other hand, run 26 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:52,400 into means to meet someone unexpectedly, you run into someone. Here are some 27 00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:57,719 examples with run into. While I was walking in the park, I ran 28 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,159 into my old high school friend Sarah. Last week, I ran into my 29 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,800 cousin at the shopping mall. I haven't seen him in ages. While I 30 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:12,800 was shopping at the grocery store, I ran into my neighbor and we had 31 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,680 a nice chat. So remember, you run across a thing, but you 32 00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:25,560 run into a person. The next one is run behind. Run behind means 33 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,879 to be delayed or to be behind schedule. When you are late for something, 34 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,840 you are most likely running behind, and we can use run behind to 35 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:46,439 talk about people and situations. For example, sorry, I'm running a little 36 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,719 behind today, so I might be a few minutes late for our meeting. 37 00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:57,759 The construction work ran behind, causing a delay in the completion of the building 38 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,919 project. Katie realized she was running behind on her assignments and had to pull 39 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:10,960 an all night or to catch up. And finally, we have run off 40 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:19,319 with someone and run off with something. Run off with someone means to leave 41 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:26,639 a place with someone you are in a romantic relationship with. Here are some 42 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,079 examples. Emma shocked everyone when she ran off with her best friend's boyfriend. 43 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:40,879 Tommy packed his bags and ran off with his high school sweetheart to Las Vegas 44 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,120 to get married. The movie tells the story of a man who runs off 45 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,399 with a mysterious woman he meets during a trip. On the other hand, 46 00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:02,240 run off with something means to steal something and weekly escape or leave with it. 47 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:10,279 For example, while we were chatting at the restaurant, someone ran off 48 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,680 with my bag. The thief broke into the store and ran off with several 49 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:24,439 valuable pieces of jewelry. Be careful not to leave your belongings unattended, someone 50 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,319 might run off with them. Keep in mind the best way to remember this 51 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,240 and any vocabulary is to take the word or phrase, write it in a 52 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:42,319 sentence that's true for you or true in your world, and then memorize your 53 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,480 sentences.
