A verb tense shift error occurs when the verb tense shifts without a linguistically sound or logical justification. An illustration would be if one sentence used the past tense while the next sentence used the present tense.
Which are the three verb tense errors in the given paragraph?
1. You had certain rights and responsibilities - In this sentence auxiliary verb 'had' is used. It is used for mentioning past tense. The correct form will be "You have certain rights and responsibilities"
2. knew who your landlord is - The sentence here presents the idea of present tense. But a past tense verb 'knew' is used. The correct form will be "know who your landlord is".
3. If you do not know who your landlord was- The sentence coveys a present situation. So, present tense form of was must be used. The correct form will be "If you do not know who your landlord is".
