I'm doing a key word transformation and I've come to this sentence:
There aren't any eggs left.
"We ____ eggs".
I should complete the sentence with 2–5 words using the word "run".
At first I thought of
We run out of eggs.
but could I use present simple here if it's not a repeated event? Should I use
We've run out of eggs.
Answer
Yes, pretty much as you've been arguing:
We run out of eggs.
Running out of eggs is a thing that we do.
We've run out of eggs.
We have recently run out of eggs, and therefore it can reasonably be inferred that we have no eggs.
