EasyWriter Resources / 20 Most Common Errors / 13. Wrong tense or verb form 
The verb died does not clearly state that the death occurred before Ian arrived. 
The verb go has irregular past-tense forms. Errors of wrong tense include using a verb that does not clearly indicate when an action or a condition is, was, or will be completed - for example, using walked instead of had walked, or will go instead of will have gone. Errors of wrong form include confusing the forms of irregular verbs (such as go, went, and gone) or treating these verbs as if they followed the regular pattern - for example, using beginned instead of began.
