01cite10Tuongvan12cite10a/ This morning , the teacher ran over time by 5 minutes 11b10You could use "overtime," one word, or you could omit the word, "time," since "ran over" is a common expression by itself. You could also say, "ran over the alloted time by etc." (I wouldn't use your sentence as it stands.) 12b12br
