Answer:

I get out of bed at 7 a.m. I wake up my littlest sister, Jayna, and I let the dog outside until it starts barking. I pack my baseball uniform unless I don't have afternoon practice. I race out the door; however, I'm usually late anyway.

Answer:

  • See the sentences below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A declarative sentence:

  • I wake up early in the morning every day.

It is just stating an idea or fact.

2. An imperative sentence.

  • Hand me the some bread.

The sentence is making a request.

3. An interrogative sentence.

  • Can you leave me at the bus station, because I am late?

This sentence is asking a question, thus it ends in a question mark. See that the verbs "can" and "am" are both in present tense, then they are consistent.

4. An exclamatory sentence.

  • Watch out for the car that stopped abruptly!

You are conveying a strong feeling of urgency. The exclamatory sentences end with the exclamation mark: !

A further explanation:

Verb tense consistency refers to not changing the tense throughout a clause. Switching from one tense to another is a syntax error, that makes the clauses weird or even unintelligible.
