Grammar Café - Verb tenses in English

Verbs help to encode actions, meanings, and relationships between things. Consistency of verb tense helps ensure smooth expression in your writing and improve the coherence of your argument. The practice of the discipline for which you write typically determines which verb tenses to use in various parts of your thesis. In general, however, this workshop will use practical tips and guides to help you know when to use past and present tense and in which chapter. It discusses how to avoid unnecessary shifts in verb tense within a paragraph or in adjacent paragraphs to help ensure smooth expression. If you need to improve your knowledge of grammar and mechanics and the clarity of your written expression, this workshop is for you. (90 mins, 1300-1430 AEST).  Presenter:  Emmaline Lear.
