📝 Part 1: Identifying Tense Errors

Remember: All verbs in a sentence or paragraph should stay in the same tense unless there's a logical reason to change (like showing different times).

1. Circle the verb that creates a tense inconsistency in each sentence:

a) Yesterday I walked to school and meet my friend at the gates.

b) Sarah studies hard for her exams and passed with excellent marks.

c) Tomorrow we will visit the museum and learn about ancient history.

d) The dog barked loudly and runs around the garden.

2. Choose the correct verb form to maintain tense consistency:

Last weekend, I visited my grandmother and _______ her bake biscuits.

help

helped

will help

The students are working on their projects and _______ their research carefully.

conducted

conduct

will conduct

a) The football match started at 3 o'clock and will end at 5 o'clock.

b) Every morning, James walks his dog and fed the cat before school.

c) Next year, our class visits France and learned about French culture.
