<span>Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 to October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, critic and editor best known for evocative short stories and poems that captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world. His imaginative storytelling and tales of mystery and horror gave birth to the modern detective story. Many of Poe’s works, including “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” became literary classics. Some aspects of Poe’s life, like his literature, is shrouded in mystery, and the lines between fact and fiction have been blurred substantially since his death.</span>

Write four sentences that describe your morning routine in a consistent verb tense. Use at least two different sentence types.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

  • See the sentences below.

Explanation:

1. A declarative sentence:

  • <u>I wake up early in the morning every day. </u>

It is just stating an idea or fact.

2. An imperative sentence.

  • <u>Hand me the some bread.</u>

The sentence is making a request.

3. An interrogative sentence.

  • <u>Can you leave me at the bus station, because I am late?</u>

This sentence is asking a question, thus it ends in a question mark. See that the verbs "can" and "am" are both in present tense, then they are consistent.

4. An exclamatory sentence.

  • <u>Watch out for the car that stopped abruptly!</u>

You are conveying a strong feeling of urgency. The exclamatory sentences end with the exclamation mark: !

A further explanation:

Verb tense consistency refers to not changing the tense throughout a clause. Switching from one tense to another is a syntax error, that makes the clauses weird or even unintelligible.
