Except that your verb prefix doesn't resemble anything whatsoever to do
with the subject.
I suspect you are tryong to get your student to relaize this on their
own, and if I am overstepping my bounds by stating it flat out as I am
about to do, then tell me... but I would do soemthing like this:
bIqettaHvIS ghe''or yIDa
"While you are running, Act in the manner of hell"
Notice I corrected a spelling error in <ghe''or>, and I also switched to
an imperative (which is my interpretation based on the title).
