What’s your favorite exercise to do in the morning? I enjoy running at the beach, using the ciclovia or even the calçadão if there’s not full of people. But I try not to run in the sand (it’s way harder hahaha). What about you? Are you a good runner?
The verb and substantive for run in Portuguese are different. When we are talking about run as a verb of action, we use the word “correr”. Correr is a regular verb that ends in -ER. The noun for running is “corrida”. However, this is a very broad, general term, and, as you’ll read below, we have many variations.
The verb run in Portuguese is also frequently because a couple of expressions use this verb, such as “correr risco” (when you’re ”risking something”) and “correr atrás” (when you ”chase or go after something,” e.g. a goal). For this reason, the verb to run in Portuguese is common and important to remember. So, if you haven’t studied this verb before, go and corra atrás of the lost time.
