💡 Grammar Points
The Accent Mark Matters
The accent on the 'í' tells you this action happened in the past and that you should emphasize the end of the word when speaking.
Completed Actions
Use 'corrí' when you are talking about a specific time you ran that has a clear beginning and end (like 'yesterday' or 'at 5 PM').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Missing the Accent
Mistake: "Yo corri ayer."
Correction: Yo corrí ayer. Without the accent, the word doesn't actually exist in Spanish!
⭐ Usage Tips
Moving Objects
In Spanish, you can 'run' a curtain or a chair. It's a very natural way to say you slid something from one spot to another.
