Those 3 sentences ALL have "today" in them. Use the present tense.
To rewrite each sentence using the correct form of the verb in parentheses (s, ed, or will), you can follow these steps:
1. Long ago, Plutarch related stories of Greeks and Romans.
- Add "ed" to the base form of the verb "relate" to make it past tense.
2. Today, we will call a person's life story a biography.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "call" to indicate future tense.
3. Writers today will learn from Plutarch.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "learn" to indicate future tense.
4. His work will be a model for future biographies as well.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "be" to indicate future tense.
5. Modern biography originated three hundred years ago.
- Keep the base form of the verb "originate" as it is.
6. In 1800, Mason Weems published a biography of George Washington.
- Keep the base form of the verb "publish" as it is.
7. In the 1806 edition, he included the story of the cherry tree.
- Keep the base form of the verb "include" as it is.
8. People will talk about that story for years to come.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "talk" to indicate future tense.
9. Today, readers will question the truth of some of Weems' stories.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "question" to indicate future tense.
10. Someday, I will read his account of Washington's life.
- Add "will" before the base form of the verb "read" to indicate future tense.
