There is one verb tense error in this paragraph. Correct it:

English
1 answer:
vivado [14]3 years ago

The verb tense error in the paragraph is: flies

That said, the first truly accepted take-off and flight powered by nothing other than the pilot himself, occurred almost fifty years later in November 1961, when Derek Piggott <u>flew</u> the SUMPAC (Southampton University’s Man Powered AirCraft) a then world-record distance of 650-yards (594m).

<em>The verb "flies" should be in past-tense because throughout the paragraph all the verbs are in past tense, indicating that an event has already occurred. Therefore, it should be replaced with the word "flew." </em>

  • Flew is the past-tense of flies.

Why are Shakespeare's plays considered difficult for modern students to<br> understand?
Ivahew [28]
The reason hun is because Shakespeare uses an early form of the English language. There are a few differences between today's English and Shakespeare's Early Modern English. He uses words such as thee, thy, lord, thou, art, etc which is complicated for us to understand. Also, many of Shakespeare's plays were written in iambic pentameter which makes his writings much more difficult to interpret. Another thing is that he invented new words in his writings, over 1,000 words he invented.
