Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.80 Verb Tense and Mood Consistency skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision keeps the hypothetical mood consistent throughout the sentence?

AThe memo argues that if the school uses flexible seating in seminar rooms, discussion leaders would arrange groups quickly.

BThe memo argues that if the school used flexible seating in seminar rooms, discussion leaders will arrange groups quickly.

CThe memo argues that if the school uses flexible seating in seminar rooms, discussion leaders would have arranged groups quickly.

DThe memo argues that if the school used flexible seating in seminar rooms, discussion leaders would arrange groups quickly.

Solution & Explanation:Because the sentence imagines a hypothetical situation, “used flexible seating” in the if-clause should pair with “would arrange groups quickly” in the result clause.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision correctly shows that the first action will be completed before the later future event?

ABy the time the survey closes, the research team had collected all responses and will compare the results by grade level.

BBy the time the survey closes, the research team will collect all responses and had compared the results by grade level.

CBy the time the survey closes, the research team will have collected all responses and will compare the results by grade level.

DBy the time the survey closes, the research team collected all responses and compares the results by grade level.

Solution & Explanation:The first action is complete before a later future event, so “will have collected” is needed; the second future action can stay “will compare.”

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision keeps the reporting verb in the past but states the general fact in present tense?

AIn the civics paper, Mina writes that public comment gives residents a voice and shapes local decisions.

BIn the civics paper, Mina wrote that public comment gives residents a voice and shapes local decisions.

CIn the civics paper, Mina wrote that public comment gave residents a voice and shaped local decisions.

DIn the civics paper, Mina will write that public comment gives residents a voice and shaped local decisions.

Solution & Explanation:“Wrote” correctly reports a completed action, while the general fact remains true now, so “public comment gives residents a voice” and “shapes local decisions” should be present tense.
