Because traffic was unusually heavy, Jim arrived ten minutes late for his job interview even though he had ran desperately all the way from the bus stop. No error
it has to become had run?
Why?</p>

<p>The verb form for the past perfect is:</p>

<p>AUXILIARY VERB “HAD” + PAST PARTICIPLE.</p>

<p>The past participle of “to run” is “run.”</p>

<p>“I run.” “I have run.” “I had run.” “I ran.”</p>

<p>In my house, there are a tv stand and computer.
Should it be is?</p>

<p>But it’s sure awkward-sounding.</p>
