English Phrasal Verb Practice with “run in,” “run out,” and "run up"

One sunny morning, Lucy went to a small shop near her house. She went to buy some bread for breakfast. On her way, she saw police officers chase someone running out [vybíhá] of a store. Lucy was surprised but continued on her day.

After breakfast, Lucy remembered she needed new shoes. The shoes were for her school sports day. She knew it was important to run in new shoes [se v nových botách proběhnout] before using them. So, she went with her mom to some shoe stores. There, Lucy walked around to run them in [prošlápla].

Then, Lucy's mom said, "We need to hurry up. Our parking time will run out soon [čas brzy vyprší]." She quickly chose the one she liked. They paid for the shoes and left.

At home, Lucy wanted to make tea, but they ran out of tea bags [došly Jim sáčky s čajem]. "Oh no! We've run out [Došly nám],” Lucy said. "Can you go and buy some?" her mom asked. Lucy quickly ran out the door [vyběhla ze dveří] to the supermarket.

At the supermarket, Lucy saw her friend Anna. Anna said, "I was going to call you. I ran out of party invitations [došly mi pozvánky na párty]. Can you come to my party?" Lucy was happy about it and said she’d go.

After she got home from the supermarket, her Mom asked her to help her. The garden path didn’t run up [Zahradní cestička nevedla až k] to the new flowers. Her mom asked Lucy, "Help me make the path run up [cesta vedla až k] to the flowers.” Lucy agreed.

As they started to work on the garden path, Lucy remembered something. She told her Mom, “I had a run in  [narazila jsem na] with a math problem. I have an idea. I’ll be right back.” Her mom was happy that she was working on her homework. Lucy returned a few minutes later.

After dinner, Lucy went to her room. It had been a long day. She was happy that she ran into Anna to go to her party. She was looking forward to the party. Then, Lucy fell asleep.
