Motion info
бежа́ть/бе́гать is a verb of motion pair:
· бежа́ть is unidirectional → go right now or in a specific single trip.
· бе́гать is multidirectional → habitual movement, repeated trips, or there-and-back movement.
Directionality and Aspect
идти́/ходи́ть are both imperfective and thus focus on the process. Use the perfective aspect partner instead if you want to describe a completed action (идти́ → пойти́ and ходи́ть → сходи́ть).
When choosing a verb, step 1 is directionality (one trip vs repeated/there and back), then step 2 is aspect (process/result, ongoing/completed).
Examples
- Дети бе́гали взад-вперёд по па́рку.Children were running to and fro in the park.
