Please help me with these two easy German questions, thanks.
The first one:
die Autos, die Strassen, alles so sauber und ordentlich
die Leute, alle so nett hier.
Why is there no "sind/ist" in the two sentences?
The second one:
Ich habe mir doch gedacht, dass du den Zug noch kriegst, so wie du gerannt bist.
How to translate it in English please?

It's just a matter of speech, the verbs can still be added as such;
die Autos, die Strassen, alles *ist* so sauber und ordentlich.
die Leute *sind* alle so nett hier.
Does that make you understand it?
Ich habe mir doch gedacht, dass du den Zug noch kriegst, so wie du gerannt bist.
I thought so (= was sure), that you caught the train, the way you ran.
