Questions & Answers about eki made hashitta node, poketto no hankachi de kao o fuita.

What does 駅まで mean here? Does まで mean to?

Yes—here まで means up to / as far as, and in natural English it often becomes to.

So:

• 駅まで走った = ran to the station

A useful nuance is that まで focuses on the endpoint. It tells you where the running continued until.

Compare:

• 駅に走った → less natural here if you mean the whole route up to the station
• 駅まで走った → clearly ran all the way to the station

Why is it 走ったので instead of 走るので?

Because the speaker is talking about a completed action in the past.

• 走った = past form of 走る (ran)
• ので = because / since

So 走ったので means because I ran or because I had run.

The whole sentence is in the past:

• 走った = ran
• ふいた = wiped

So the timing is consistent.

What is the difference between ので and から for because?
