Electrons move through a conductor to make electric current. In reality, the negatively charged electrons move from a negative source, through the circuit and end at the positive terminal of the source. But we commonly refer to current as flowing from positive to negative (as if there were positive charge particles moving). Since the charge on an electron is negative, the effect is the same as if there really were a positive charge moving in the opposite direction as the electron.

An electrical current basically involves the movement of some charged particles. In a metal, this will be electrons; but other charged particles, such as ions, or pseudo-particles, such as holes, may be involved.

electrons in a copper wire for example would be what moves. In a solution it would be ions that carry electrical charge.
