Three ways to say you are going to quickly visit someone.
1. run to (visit/go)
Ex: I'm gonna run to my grandma's house.(a visit but not sure how long it could be)
Ex:I'm gonna run to the store.(not physically run to, and it may drive to there)
run see(rare, it depends on where u live)
2. run by(already out, I am gonna go somewhere)
Ex: I'm gonna run by my grandma tonight.
Ex: I' m planning to run by the store on the way home. Do u wanna me pick up anything for you?
3. run in (u r already somewhere.U r going to actually go in, or either for a visit.)
Ex: I am going to go in, stop by, drop by(a very quick visit)
Ex: I am going to run in(a few hours' visit)
Role play
A: I'm gonna run to grandmas. I have a birthday present for her.
B: I will come with u. Can we run by the grocery store on way home?
A: For sure. I will wait in the car when you run in.
