corremos

Corremos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb correr, meaning we run. It is used to describe actions of running in the present or habitual activities, and can appear in everyday speech, sports reporting, and general description.

Etymology: Correr comes from Latin currere, meaning to run or to flow. The form corremos follows the standard -er verb present tense endings in Spanish.

Conjugation: In the present indicative, the full paradigm is: yo corro, tú corres, él/ella corre, nosotros/nosotras corremos, vosotros/vosotras corréis, ellos/ellas corren. The vosotros form corréis is used primarily in Spain; in most of Latin America, ustedes replaces vosotros.

Usage notes: Physical running examples include "Nosotros corremos todas las mañanas" ("We run every morning") and "Hoy corremos cinco kilómetros" ("Today we run five kilometers"). Figurative uses include phrases like "correr riesgos" (to take risks) as in "Si no estudias, corremos el riesgo de reprobar" ("If you don’t study, we run the risk of failing"), and "corremos la voz" (to spread the word). The tense also appears in various progressive constructions when combined with estar, as in "estamos corriendo" to emphasize ongoing action, though corremos alone already conveys present action.
