General Writing Consistency of Verb Tenses We use the verb tense to indicate the particular time of an action, event or condition. When we want to describe a number of actions or events, we may use different tenses in a sentence, a paragraph or a whole composition. Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events. But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause a misunderstanding. Generally, we keep one tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses to that primary tense. 您所在位置 : Unit 4 Living on You Own / Write and Produce/ General Writing
