I am currently writing a story on the internet, and I'm very careful about grammar.
Recently I seem to be a little mixed up and confused.
Is it that we should:
Use was, were for past tense,
but use am, is for something that cannot be changed.
Here's a little part of my story:
Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I drifted back to the other world. "I'm Eva," she said plainly. She didn't look like the Eva Swann I just met. But then again, I don't looked like the Bonnie with honey spun hair either. My eyes are black. My hair is black. Just, plain, black. Eva Swann has hair that was not brown, nor blonde. Her big eyes are just brown as bark. I guess ordinary people are never ordinary.
Um, so is that right? My point of view is that her hair is always black, so it should be IS, even though this story is written in past tense. And she never looked like other girl, so she should say "I DON'T". This story is kind of confusing, so if you may, please read the whole story quotev.com/story/1899878/Imagine/, and tell me about my grammar errors. Please help! I know a lot of people on that site does not care about grammar, but I do. Thanks xx
