I wrote these 5 sentences for a assignment and would like some feeback on them as to what I may need to work on. 1.Our education plays (simple present tense) a major role in our future finances.
2.My financial planning class opened (simple past tense) my eyes to my unnecessary expenses.
3.Financial planning is (present tense) a class all students can benefit from.
4.I have (present perfect tense) discussed my finances with my advisor.
5.I plan (future) on earning more money with my college degree.
Overall, your sentences are well-constructed and convey clear messages. Here's a brief feedback on each sentence:
1. "Our education plays a major role in our future finances."
- This sentence is grammatically correct. However, consider expanding on the idea by providing specific examples or reasons how education impacts future finances.
2. "My financial planning class opened my eyes to my unnecessary expenses."
- This sentence is grammatically correct and effectively communicates that the financial planning class helped you realize your unnecessary expenses. Consider adding more details about the impact it had on your financial management or what changes you made.
3. "Financial planning is a class all students can benefit from."
- This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the idea that financial planning is beneficial for all students. It could be made more compelling by mentioning a specific benefit or reason why it is important for students.
4. "I have discussed my finances with my advisor."
- This sentence is grammatically correct. However, it would be helpful to mention the outcome or purpose of discussing your finances with your advisor.
5. "I plan on earning more money with my college degree."
- This sentence is grammatically sound and conveys your intention to increase your income through your college degree. You could make it more impactful by expanding on how you plan to achieve this or what steps you'll take.
In general, you could consider adding more details, examples, or explanations to provide a clearer context for your statements and make your writing more engaging. Additionally, make sure you maintain consistency in your verb tenses throughout your assignment.
They're all right -- except # 5. The verb "plan" is in the present tense.
You could say: "I will earn more money after I earn my college degree."
1. looks good
2. looks good
3. looks good; but are you supposed to use 5 different tenses during this assignment?
4. the verb = have discussed (present perfect tense) ["discussed" is the main part of the verb; "have" is the auxiliary verb]
5. Future tense is formed with "will" or "shall" or one of their negatives. How can you rewrite this to make it a true future?
