Usage notes
- Use 'correre' for physical running; 'affrettarsi' is better for 'to hurry' in most contexts.
- Auxiliary choice: 'essere' for motion (e.g., 'sono corso a casa'), 'avere' for duration/activity (e.g., 'ho corso per un'ora').
- In Northern Italy, 'correre' often implies speed; in the South, it can mean 'to go' casually (e.g., 'corro al bar').
- past participle corso
