If your convention of referring to a verb is to show its infinitive
form, i.e. "to run", then you would probably want to say
The passive from of "to run" is "to be run", not "to be
ran".
But I think we do not need any of this if we just retitled it to
Subject: t3404: fix a grammo (commands are ran -> commands are run)
without any body.
