WRITING A STORY

When you are writing a story you have to be very consistent using VERBAL TENSES. 

They are often in the PAST ( Past simple or continuouous, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Modals in the PAST)

You may introduce direct speech: Something someone said. And that would enrich your story and change the verbal tense.

JUST BE CONSISTENT.

REVISE EVERYTHING WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR WRITING

I post an example with the mistakes in bold, can you correct it? Post corrections please!

I am just posting one but could have posted many more! WE NEED TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
