WHY THE TOPIC?• During the tutoring session, I
believe that many tutees often write their essays with wrong verb tenses.
• I want to learn it myself.
![Page 3: Verb Tenses](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549954a3b47959721f8b4572/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
IMPORTANCE FOR CORRECT VERB
TENSES• Clear and easy to understand• Consistency• To express the event with proper
verb tenses
![Page 4: Verb Tenses](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549954a3b47959721f8b4572/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
HOW TO FIND THE VERB?
• Underline the possible verbs that show or imply some action.
• Change the time of the sentence and find the word that changes.
• *Some verbs may contain two words “ex: I am going to school.”
(from Judy’s grammar package)

EDITING ADVICE• Do all the verbs belong to the time cluster
(present, past, or future) in one paragraph?• If yes, ask yourself that does each verb convey
precisely the time you had in mind, the relationship to other times or actions, and the idea of an action completed or in progress?
• If no, look carefully at the verbs that do not fit. Is there a reason for the switch in time? Then, rewrite the verb that provides the appropriate indication of time.
(from Ann Raime’s grammar toublespots)
