"Alright! So here come the run phrasals verbs :
* My first phrasal verb was "run down". I said in my story that I ran down Copacabana Beach. In this case , "run down", has nothing to do with going up or down. It simply means to run in that direction.
........................................
*My second phrasal verb was "run around". I said that the children were running around having a good time at the beach. In this case, run around means to run in different directions all at once.Children who are so full of energy are always doing that!They are running around having a good time.
However, run around, does have alternate meanings. Run around can also mean for example that " My husband was running around with another woman". In this case , "run around" means to have an affair with another woman.It means to cheat on someone.So be very careful how you use the phrasal verbs , because sometimes they have a different meaning for the same phrasal verb.
