My #2 sentences...

My sentence choice: "The man pulled out a handgun and started chasing the doctor around the office." I got this sentence when I read the Seattle Times newspaper online. It was updated at 2:03 AM last night. The Seattle Times http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003923857_gunman04m.html . This sentence uses the Consistent Tense. It uses Pulled and Started to show the action relationships. I think it has a strong structure, and it used the same tense in one sentence. We need to learn from it for AW5. My new sentence: My teacher used consistent tense and taught me how to use it.

I think you might be a little confused about what "consistent tenses" are. There is no consistent tense like past tense, present tense. :) It just means to be consistent in how you use tenses. If you start out with present, continue with it until the time changes! :) The main point is to be consistent! Right?!
