The translation of 'I ran to school' in Italian is 'Corsi fino a scuola.' However, if you want to use the verb 'ran' in the correct form, the translation would be 'Ho corso fino a scuola.' But if you want to use 'I ran' in the more informal way that you used, we can say 'Sono corso fino a scuola' for male or 'Sono corsa fino a scuola' for female. There is another way to say this, which is 'Corsi fino a scuola' as I mentioned earlier, but remember this one is used less often."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain why you used 'corsi' instead of 'corro'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, 'corsi' is the second person singular of the verb 'correre' (to run) in the preterite tense. However, 'corro' is the first person singular of 'correre' in the present tense. So if you say 'corro fino a scuola', it means 'I run to school' (as a habitual action), instead of 'I ran to school' (a one-time action in the past)."}]
