(a) Understand that, in complex sentences which may have several parts, particular care is needed to check subject-verb agreement
(b) Understand that the choice of tense depends on the task
(c) Understand that in longer texts the writer needs to keep checking back while writing, not at the end, and to check that the tense remains consistent
(d) Understand that, when writing texts such as impersonal reports, verbs using the passive voice are useful to keep the focus on the action rather than on who performs it, e.g. it has recently been revealed that the association is losing money
