The past participle of RUN is run, so the articles are run through the program. Dictionaries will tell you the "principal parts" of irregular verbs; for RUN these are run (plain/present), ran (past), and run (past participle). | |

| May 14, 2016 at 16:31 | comment | added | user3395 | Observe that if you take another verb instead of to run (run, ran, run), like e.g, to do (do, did, done), you get “All our articles are done...” which sounds like proper English, hence, you need the past participle. “All our articles are do...” and “All our articles are did...” are incorrect. | |
