Local Revision: Tense Usage




   My QRG is unbalanced in its usage of tense.  I focus heavily on the present and future.


Past
Present
Future
proposed have generated has contested were had made was responded published
are do Break are is answer is better start is find is repeating has propagates occupies moving looking break oscillates consuming conflicts act points out show demonstrate pointing out disproving disprove disproving have is disproved stands gain found manages create disprove is being prepared attempt create prove could shed
would be would oscillate ’ll would extend would be would be would would be could could survive would be would expend decompose will lose wouldn’t be inconvenienced found work will be will continue will

Disprove- 5  Found- 2  Create- 2
Would- 10  Could- 3

   The use of the past and future tenses make the controversy seem more alive while past tense is used to show background.  I feel that the tense changes flow naturally and none of my peer reviewers have commented on them.  I may slightly overuse the future tense, especially the word would.
