Theory

Connectivity of verbs: When a group of verbs is connected to a noun in the same sentence, the tense of the verbs should be consistent. For example, 'My kid brother cries, eats and sleeps all day long' is correct and it should not be, 'My kid brother cries, eats and is sleeping all day long.'
