Look over the list of verbs you published in Blog Post 5.2. I want to now to republish that list here, but divided into three columns: a Present Tense column, a Past Tense column, and a Future Tense column. List all the present tense verbs in the Present Tense column, along with a tally of how many times each verb is used. Do the same for Past and Future.
Below the columns, provide concise but specific answers to the following questions:
1. Present tense is by far the most prevalent in my draft.

2. Present tense is extremely important in my paper to talk about how we need to change our attitudes NOW, now how we felt about artificial intelligence.

3.The predominant usage of present tense makes sense across the whole essay. No changes need to be made in terms of verb tense.

4. For the exact reasons you are trying to encourage, usage of present tense is by FAR the most common.

Commanding respect of an audience happens during the reading, not after or before. Present tense is key.
