This is the sentence which contains an inappropriate shift in tense:
The dog is playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith worked in the garden.
It is not correct to use present continuous in one part of the sentence, and past simple in the other, in this case.
The possible correct forms of this sentence are:
The dog was playing in the yard as Mrs. Smith was working in the garden.
The dog played in the yard as Mrs. Smith worked in the garden.

Please Help!! I'm not creative AT ALL!!
salantis [7]

A long time ago in an old dry land there were 30 people living in one town and they needed rain so bad the grass was brown there crops were dead and they were about to burn up.  

One day they all got down on their knees and they prayed to the GOD of weather. And the god of weather took it the wrong way and he punished them all. He gave them their but just a little too much rain. The sky was lighting up and the ground was shaking and they got really scared. They went into there houses and they got down again and prayed again and said " please make it stop raining we have had enough rain".  

But the God was still mad at them and he made it rain harder and harder. One day they all died off because they drowned because of all the rain.And the God thought it was funny later on that day it stopped raining and about 20 minutes later a little girl came out and the God saw her and he took her up and raised her to later become the Godess of weather.

And at the time the little girl didn't know that he killed all those people including her mom and dad. Later on she found out about what he did and so she came up with a plan, and she sent him down to the village and he went and she trapped him down there and she made it rain and rain and rain and rain, and finally he died just like all of her family and friends.  

And then later on some other villagers moved into the old village and she answer her prayers and she let it rain but not too much rain.
