time Green all right what's the correct way to write
- 00:23
sentence five and here the potential answers a lot of
- 00:27
unfortunately here Well looks like sentence five having problems with
- 00:31
its verb tenses right there Unfortunately for jimmy his challenge
- 00:35
had not gone so well because he broke his ankle
- 00:38
Yeah while the verbal broke is in the simple past
- 00:42
while the helping verb had puts had not gone in
- 00:46
the past perfect it's hardly ever a good idea to
- 00:49
mix tenses in a sentence doing this Always test the
- 00:51
patience of the grammar police and you know how that
- 00:54
goes All right option b isn't going to do anything
- 00:56
to calm down the grammar cops either It's actually just
- 00:59
going to make them angrier since it's the same as
- 01:01
the original only with a comma removed that wasn't used
- 01:04
incorrectly in the first place We have to have to
- 01:06
come after Unfortunately for jimmy because it's an introductory phrase
- 01:12
things go from bad to worse with choi see right
- 01:14
there Yeah we've got the same tense issues as before
- 01:18
so that stinks And on top of that phrase unfortunately
- 01:21
for jimmy has been replaced with the grammatically awkward and
- 01:24
too bad for jimmy well answer D makes an attempt
- 01:27
to fix john's verb tense issues but the grammar cops
- 01:30
don't give a cz for the effort Don't expect little
- 01:32
smiley face stickers just trying hard The change is broke
- 01:36
too broken in an attempt to put all the verbs
- 01:39
in the sentence into past perfect but we need a
- 01:41
helping verb like had to go along with broken otherwise
- 01:45
The grammar police will blow a gasket Answer it Finally
- 01:49
fixes are verb tense problems Here we go Both did
- 01:51
not go and broke our in the simple past It's
- 01:55
like there was no room in this sense for past
- 01:57
perfect heavy sigh way were perfect in the past But 00:02:01.063 --> [endTime] let ourselves go lately
