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 tensesto that primary tense.
