Question

Which sentence has an inappropriate shift in verb tense? a When Jasmine shared the news with her sisters, they smile. b Lily will have finished her schoolwork by the time the sun sets. c Miguel will play with his brother after he studies his spelling words.
d Before she visited her neighbor, Lily had fed her hamster.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) When Jasmine shared the news with her sisters, they smile.

Explanation:

This answer is incorrect due to the fact that the word "smile" should actually be "smiled"

Answer 2

The sentence that has an inappropriate shift in verb tense would have to be A.

“When Jasmine shared the news with her sisters, they smile.”

If the sentence had said “When Jasmine shares the news with her sisters, they smile.” It would have been okay but here you would want SMILED instead as its acting as past tense because she “shared” the news.
