Those funny hitler videos

"The Downfall" (Der Untergang).

If you really want it, I can upload the unsubbed portion, just give me an hour or two (I'm lazy).

The awesome grammer.

I had a feeling the bold was hinting at something. I'm going to play ignorant here and ask... what would have been a better choice of words?

multiple past-tense verbs are fine together the last time I checked. 😉
key note: ran in this usage is equivalent to driven.

They were driven into the ground? That works, yes?
So why not "they were ran into the ground" ?
:hmm:

My thinking was it should be "were run".

I think, with me anyway, it's like a big sore thumb. Maybe there isn't any thing wrong with using "ran" after "were," according to rules of English usage, but it's one of those "rules of sound" sorts of things. It just stands out when I hear it.

I think "were ran off" is improper, while "were run off" is the accepted use, primarily b/c it "sounds right."

I ran off, he ran off, whatever. "were ran" is redundant, perhaps.

There's a stage that every human goes through during cognitive development when learning their native language, where they "over-tense" words. It usually happens between 3-5, I believe. Phrases like: "I ran-ded after the dog."

"Were ran off" sounds like early cognitive over-tensing to my ears. :\
