Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.81 Consistent Point of View and Tense skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

1. Before the storm hit, Cal had boarded up the windows. 2. He listened as branches scraped the siding and the house groaned. 3. In the morning, he stepped outside and sees the yard covered in leaves. 4. Cal sighed, grateful the roof had held.

Which revision of Sentence 3 best maintains tense consistency?

AIn the morning, he stepped outside and will see the yard covered in leaves.

BIn the morning, he steps outside and sees the yard covered in leaves.

CIn the morning, he had stepped outside and saw the yard covered in leaves.

DIn the morning, he stepped outside and saw the yard covered in leaves.

Solution & Explanation:The main narration is past (listened, stepped, sighed). Sentence 1 uses past perfect for an earlier action. Sentence 3 should be simple past: 'stepped' and 'saw.'

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

1. The debate team filed into the classroom, still whispering last-minute notes. 2. They had rehearsed their openings, but their nerves were obvious. 3. She takes a seat in the front row and sets out her timer. 4. When the moderator began, the team leaned forward together.

Which revision of Sentence 3 best maintains point of view and tense?

AThey take a seat in the front row and set out their timer.

BThey took seats in the front row and set out their timers.

CHe took a seat in the front row and set out his timer.

DThey had taken a seat in the front row and set out their timer.

Solution & Explanation:The passage is past tense and about the team ('they filed,' 'they had rehearsed,' 'leaned'). Sentence 3 should stay third-person plural past: 'took' and 'set out,' with plural nouns to match.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

1. I push the cart through the grocery store, counting items in my head. 2. Near the cereal aisle, I remember that I forgot milk yesterday. 3. I grab two cartons and add them to the cart. 4. At the checkout, I breathe easier.

Which revision of Sentence 2 best maintains tense consistency while keeping the meaning?

ANear the cereal aisle, I remembered that I forgot milk yesterday.

BNear the cereal aisle, I remember that I forget milk yesterday.

CNear the cereal aisle, I remember that I forgot milk yesterday.

DNear the cereal aisle, I will remember that I forgot milk yesterday.

Solution & Explanation:The scene is present tense (push, counting, remember, grab, add, breathe). The forgetting happened yesterday, so 'forgot' can stay past. Option C keeps the scene in present while correctly referring to the past event.
