(1) Last week our class started a blog. (2) We posted articles about science experiments and our social studies field trip. (3) Many friends will write comments to us. (4) We answered all of them! Which sentence in the paragraph contains an error in verb tense?

A. Sentence 1
B. Sentence 2
C. Sentence 3
D. Sentence 4

C. Sentence 3

Explanation:

All of the other sentences are written in past tense. I know this because the author used words such as "started", "posted", and "answered". However, the third sentence uses the word "will" which indicates something has not been done yet, it will be don in the future. Since this does not match the rest of the sentences, it is incorrect.

Incorrect Sentence:

Many friends will write comments to us.

Correct Sentence:

Many friends wrote comments to us.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
