When we have to write answers of an chapter like little girl we write answers in past tense but when we have to write answers of a poem like Rain on the Roof ,we generally write answers in present tense . Why????
Please answers .
Dear Student,
Answers from a chapter are usually written in past tense while when we are referring to a poem, we usually write in present tense. This is because poems mostly talk about things which are eternal truth.
However, there is no defined rule for answering any question. It is more important to is to pick one tense and stick with it throughout your answer. Grammatically speaking, both past or present tense would be considered correct, but switching between the two is not suggested.
