Quick Tip:
When writing, do you find your verb tenses shifting?
Read through your paper once over to check for verb errors (Proofreading never hurts!). With all writing, there should be consistency (FOR EXAMPLE: a narrative should have consistent verb tenses, so the story can be followed).
If you are writing in the past tense, it should all be in past tense
