Hey there! The past tense of "run" is "ran." You can think of the past tense as something that happened before the present. Similar to how you might remember running to catch a bus yesterday. You're now reflecting on that event, which happened in the past. Therefore, you would say "I ran to catch the bus." The word "ran" is used to indicate that the running happened in the past, not in the present. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other language questions.
