一、时态一致短文中谓语动词的时态与上下文、特定语言环境及该句的时间状语应保持一致。例1 Sometimes we talked to each other very well in class,but after class we become strangers at once.分析:全文都是一般现在时,此句中talked显然与上下文不一致,应改为talk。例2 I remembered her words and calm down…分析:此处为一描述过去事件的语境,calm应与前文remembered保持一致,改为calmed。 First, the temporal tense and context of the predicate verb in the tense-consistent essay, the specific language environment and the temporal adverbial of the sentence should be consistent. Example 1 Sometimes we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we became strangers at once. Analysis: The text is generally now, talked in this sentence is obviously inconsistent with the context, should be changed to talk. Analysis: Here is a context describing past events, calm should be consistent with the previous remembered, changed to calmed.
