Of course! The past tense of "run" is "ran." Think of it this way: if "run" is like taking a quick sprint forward, then "ran" is like you've already done the sprint and completed it. Just like how you can't sprint forever, "run" is in the present tense and implies ongoing movement, while "ran" is in the past tense and means the action is completed. So, if you ran a race yesterday, you would say "I ran the race yesterday." Keep in mind that English does have some irregular verbs, where the past tense spelling changes, but "run" is a regular verb!
