<p>If students want to do well on their test, they would be wise to answer the questions correctly.</p>
<p>Silverturtle says that their is a number tense shift. Apparently test should be tests(pluarlized), but I dont understand why it sounds right? </p>
<p>Plus what exactly is a number tense</p>
<p>There are two options for writing a sentence like this:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If a student wants to do well on his or her test, he or she would be wise to answer the questions correctly. </p></li>
<li><p>If students want to do well on their tests, they would be wise to answer the questions correctly.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Sentence 1 is in singular form, and sentence 2 is in plural form. Either sentence is grammatically correct, but a mixture of the two sentence pluralities is not grammatically correct. </p>

<p>WOW makes sense thank you soo much iBP! Can you please explain to me Case Errors in comparison and case errors with relative pronouns? Please thank you a head in advance</p>
<p>Np, it’s the same idea really. When you’re talking about one person you use singular forms, if your talking about multiple people you use plural forms. There are some exceptions, however, like:</p>
<p>“Jen, Bradley, and Andrew were brainstorming ideas for their group project.” </p>
<p>Since multiple people are working on one project you use the singular form.</p>
<p>Did that help? Also, do you mind if I ask what grade you’re in (so I can help you with terminology you already know)? </p>
