Tense Shif t
T ense Shif t:
Verb tenses should be consistent throughout your writing in order to make it clear when an
action takes place. You will conf use your readers by switching f rom one tense to another within
the same sentence or paragraph. When discussing literature or a published source document of
some kind, readers expect you to use the present tense, even though the source you're writing
about may have been written many years ago. When writing an essay about historical events,
however, readers generally expect that you use the past tense.T ense Shif t
