Is this paragraph all in the same tense? 10 points to best answer!?

can you check the tense and correct it and any other grammar mistakes. thanks





I support the second explanation. The gods had set Gilgamesh’s destiny to kingship not to everlasting life. Gilgamesh finally realizes that death is real when his companion Enkidu dies. Even though Gilgamesh realizes that death is real, he still tries to cheat death. He continues on with his journey to the ends of the earth where he finds Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh about a flower that restores youth. Gilgamesh goes to retrieve the flower but while bathing, a serpent snatches the flower from Gilgamesh. “ It rose out of the water and snatched it away, and immediately it sloughed its skin and returned to the well. Then Gilgamesh sat down and wept, the tears ran down his face, and he took the hand of Urshanabi; O Urshanabi, was it for this that I toiled with my hands, is it for this I have wrung out my heart’s blood? For myself I have gained nothing; not I, but the beast of the earth has joy of it now.” This incident proves that Gilgamesh is not destined to have eternal life. Gilgamesh was meant to fail in his pursuit of worldly immortality so that he could have a revelation: true immortality after death lies in creating a legacy in life. When he realized this, he worked to become the best king he could be, and thus was remembered in tales that survive to this day.

You started out in past tense when you said " The gods HAD set..." so you should continue in past tense. Already by the next sentence, you are in the present tense, when you used 'realizes' instead of 'realized.' I would continue with the past tense and fix the remaining paragraph to reflect that. The last sentence you used correctly in the past tense.
Reply:NO. Do I win?





You switched tense right off the bat with "gods had set" (you can delete the had). All the rest of the verbs ending in "s" or "es" need to be "d" or "ed" (this is simple... no English lesson). He REALIZED, not realizes, and so on. Then at the end, you go back to past tense.





Good luck.
