Salieron corriendo de la casa

Question

I wonder how I could do this translation.

Salieron corriendo de la casa

They ran off the house

They ran out of the house

Thanks.

Answer 1

If the house were on fire, I would say "They went running out of the house".

If they were late to the supermarket, I would probably say "They ran out of the house to be on time at the supermarket.".

Answer 2

ellos salieron corriendo de la casa para llegar a tiempo al supermercado

You could also say "they left the house running to be at the supermarket on time".

Saludos, Chica

Answer 3

I think it should be like this:

They went running out of the house.

Answer 4

Wouldn't "corriendo" be considered a gerund? If so, it would be closer to "they left (or exited) running from the house", literally translated... just a thought!

Answer 5

They left the house in a rush ( or 'in a hurry'). (..to get to the supermarket in time.)

Regarding the train, I'd say:

Same as Lorenzo (they ran to catch the train) or -

They hurried/rushed to catch the train.

Fire, explosion, any urgent situation: I agree with dogwood.

Answer 6

They ran to catch the train.

It should also be noted that run can be used like andar:

They ran down to the market. = They went to the market.

. . .and in the US, they probably went in a car.

Answer 7

And how would I say "salieron corriendo para no perder el tren"?

They ran not to miss the train?

They left running not to miss the train?

Answer 8

I mean, if I want to say: ellos salieron corriendo de la casa para llegar a tiempo al supermercado.

They ran out of the house to be on time in the supermarket.

They went running out of the house to be on time in the supermarket.

Which of them would be correct?

Answer 9

"They ran out of the house" is good.

Som's "They went running out of the house" indicates more urgency.
