hanuman_2000  +  74023 Tue, 15 Feb 05 05:00 AM Sir, 1.Somebody ran to her and gave her a big hug. 2.Somebody ran towards her and gave her a big hug. Are "ran to" and "ran toward" interchangeable? Are both the sentences correct? Thanks. hanuman_2000 Joined on Thu, Aug 12 2004 INDIA Contributing Member 1,644

She was still crying. 2. I ran towards Lydia. But it was too late. She drove off without looking at me.
