<title> I, Yuel Boyce, love reading web articles. One thing that irritates me (Yuel Boyce) very much is shifts in writing. I, Yuel Boyce, have decided to write this article in order to support those writers who do this silly mistake. So, if you are a professional writer, I, Yuel Boyce, would request you to read the article carefully. Consistency in Person- First person, second person, and third person are the three points of view in English. The first person is I. The second person is you or one. The third person is he, she, it, or they. The common mistake that writers often do is they use different person than required. Here, I, Yuel Boyce, have brought some examples and you should see how I, Yuel Boyce, have kept consistency in the use of person. You should bring improvement in your body, mind, and soul if you want to improve yourself. If you want to improve yourself, you should make improvement to your mind and soul. Once upon a time, there was a girl named Zen, and she would like to read stories. The lionsat in the cage, and he ate the flesh listlessly. I, Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you that personal and impersonal points of view also should be considered. It is insisted that there should be no place of ‘I’ in formal writing, so you should use third person only. To explore the effects of sodium on stone, the teacher of science did an experiment. Consistency in Verb Tenses- I, Yuel Boyce, have seen many writers switch from one tense to another unnecessarily which make their write up confusing. I, Yuel Boyce, would say that you should not do this mistake like other writers. Here, I, Yuel Boyce, have brought some examples that will help you understand the matter. John Milton is known for his writing skills and he exploited his skills excellently in his works. Since the sentence informs about literature, you should write the entire sentence in present tense. I, Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you that the sentence should be like this- John Milton is known for his writing skills and he exploits his skills excellently in his works. Incorrect- Last year, my teacher assigned me a lengthy project in which I have to mention of all texts read in the course. Correct- Last year, my teacher assigned me a lengthy project in which I had to mention of all texts read in the course. Ralph will attend the football camp next month because he received an invitation for the same. I, Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you that the sentence is right because there is a chronological compatibility in them. If you build up a story around the sentence, you can use either of the tenses as per the requirements. The football camp will help Ralph sharpen his skills. Ralph started playing football when he was 4 years old. I, Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you that if you don’t pay serious attention, you may make mistakes when you have to deal with conditional tenses. If the weather would become a little fine, my brothers can go for shopping. If the weather would become a little fine, my brothers could go for shopping. Use Active Voice- I, Yuel Boyce, would say use active voice in your write ups because write ups written in active style appears effective and engage readers. Shifts from Indirect to Direct Questions/Quotations- I,Yuel Boyce, would state that when you write questions or quotations, you should first decide whether you want to write direct or indirect questions/quotations. Indirect Question- She asked her father whether her father would marry her to his lover or not. Direct Question- She said to her father, “Will his father marry her to his lover or not?” Indirect Quotation Harry asked if he would come to the party with him. Direct Quotation Harry asked,“Would you come to us to the party with us?” Shifts from British to American Style- I,Yuel Boyce, have seen many writers using British and American English in their write ups. You should use either British English or American English, but not both. Spelling- I,Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you that many words have different spellings in American and British English. So, you should be careful in their use. Here are some examples- American British Color Colour Realize Realise Organize Organise Punctuation I,Yuel Boyce, would like to tell you in the article that American and British English have difference in quotation marks and final punctuation. “My brother has done his homework,” said Manish. (British) “My brother has done his homework”, said Manish. (American) Johnson says, “I will play football.” (British) Johnson says, “I will play football.” (American) I, Yuel Boyce, would request you to avoid shift in writing, as this makes your writing distracting.
