VERB CONSISTENCY – refers to keeping the same tense of a verb throughout a
clause. It means that:
*If you start using your sentence using a verb in the present tense, then keep
using the verbs in the present tense all throughout your sentence or paragraph.

Present Tense – refers to a time period during which something happens.

Example: “At this moment, Mary walks into the room. Everyone stares at her. But
Samantha stands up and drops her notebooks. She feels jealous.”

All the verbs in this paragraph are in the present tense.

*If you start using your sentence using a verb in the past tense, then keep using
the verbs in the past tense all throughout your sentence or paragraph.

Past Tense – refers to a time period during which something happened and is over.

Example: “When Mary walked into the room, everyone stared at her. But
Samantha stood up and dropped her notebooks. She felt jealous.”

*If you start using your sentence using a verb in the Future tense, then keep using
the verbs in the Future tense all throughout your sentence or paragraph.

Future Tense – refers to a time period during which something will happen.
