Bilgewater: Grammar

Task D - Tense and pronouns

We have already referred to changes in grammatical tense and pronouns in previous pages of this topic. But it will now be helpful to tie down these two aspects explicitly.

Go through the passage noting where in the narrative
(i) the pronouns referring to the candidate change and
(ii) where the 'default tense' changes.

Then try to work out why they change and compare your conclusions with ours.
