Day 41: Quote books in the present tense and writers in the past tense.
When you take a quote from a book, you have to decide whether you are attributing the quoted material to the author or the book.
If you are attributing a quote to a book, use the present tense. Because the information is always present (i.e., always available right now), use present tense verbs, such as states, notes, claims, and describes. For example, you may write the following:
“The book Ten Habits of Unhappy People claims that the main reason for disappointment is a lack of communication.”On the other hand, if you are attributing a quote to the author, use the past tense. Because the author wrote information at a specific time in the past, use a past tense verb, such as stated, noted, claimed, described, and wrote. For example, you may write the following:
“James Patterson, author of Ten Habits of Unhappy People, wrote that the main reason for disappointment is a lack of communication.”请支持我们，让我们可以支付服务器费用。
