I'm more interested to find out how/when/what should I use 'run at' correctly. The original sentence I got for 'run at' is this "I have realized running at him headfirst wasn't such a great plan." Thank You in advance! Terr3 Joined on Wed, May 30 2007 the other side of mirror Full Member 163 Difference Between

You keep running/driving/whatever even when you reach the end target. A stuntman wanting to jump off the edge of a building runs at the edge, not to it. When you run 'to' something you stop when you get there. nona the brit Tenses

Great! thank you so much -Terr Terr3
