Question

How should you correct the student’s tense error in the following sentence?

After he ate lunch, John will go to the laundromat.

Answer 1

Hi !!

Both tense in preterit (past simple) ►

After he ate lunch, John went to the laundromat.

☺☺☺

Answer 2

After he eats lunch, John will go to the laundromat.

In the second part of the sentence (John will go to the laundromat) the verb (will) is in the future tense. This means that all other verbs must match. "Ate" is in the past tense and therefore must be changed to future "eats"

Hope this helped!
