If you discover that your verbs in an essay are in two different tenses, what should you do? (Select all correct answers.)

Change all of them to a different tense.

Try to make your verb tenses as consistent as possible.

Change all of them to the same tense.

Look closely to see if any need to be changed.

Answer:

Change all of them to a different tense.

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on what you're doing.

If you want them to be the same or if you want them to be different, then change them to a different tense, or if you want your verbs to be the same then keep them consistent.

Hope I helped. :)
