Essay Sample Writing Tips - Why Simple Past Tense is Worse Than Grammatically Incorrect
Essay Sample Writing Tips - Why Simple Past Tense is Worse Than Grammatically IncorrectWhy are we always told to be careful using past tense sentences when writing a sample essay? Why can't you use simple past tense as often as you can with proper grammatical errors and sentences that flow nicely? Can you really get away with using simple past tense with your essay, or is it now forever ingrained in the minds of too many people that a writer who uses this wrong syntax cannot be taken seriously? This tutorial will show you how to effectively use simple past tense sentences with your essay.With too many people using improper, incorrect syntax in their essay, using simple past tense when writing a sample essay may be a hindrance. When using simple past tense, you are basically using a normal sentence with a period at the end. But instead of adding a new subject or attaching a new verb to the sentence, what you're actually doing is modifying the sentence structure by inserting the past t ense. We often use the past tense when modifying verbs like 'said'said', but not when modifying subjects.Let's take a look at a common grammatical error that many people make in their essay. It's called an 'assumption'. When writing an essay about anything, including yourself, the common error is to make an assumption about something. You assume that a situation is true. And because this is so common, many people are guilty of using this and their own experiences as an example when making their assumptions.So, instead of assuming that I have the ability to speak English or being accurate, a lot of people just assume. They make the assumption that because I am using the proper grammar and can write the proper sentence, I must be an expert in English and have exceptional skills. Now there is no way I can disprove these types of assumptions because I never know anyone who can speak English but there is a huge possibility that some people might be accurate in their assumptions.However, if we were to write a sample essay using simple past tense, and did not make any assumptions about the author's abilities and capabilities, and if we talked about a hypothetical situation, then the odds are that many of the assumptions made would be inaccurate. For example, rather than talking about a hypothetical situation, why not write about the experience of a person who has used this style? I'm sure that many of the assumptions made would then be shown to be untrue.Other times, not using simple past tense or past perfect would also cause many of the grammatical errors that the essay would have to deal with. For example, there are too many different times when past tense forms are used that it can be difficult to control and use the right form on every single use.You could be a teacher and use past tense when describing activities, events, situations and even years. But when you're writing a student's essay for college, your writing needs to be a little more professional. Using simple past tense would make the student feel awkward and not like you were being truthful.Use simple past tense when appropriate when writing a sample essay for a school essay. There is no need to rewrite the essay every time.
