Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When describing events or situations where involvement is key, ensure the verb tense aligns with the intended meaning. Use "participates" for habitual actions, "is participating" for current involvement, or "participated" for past events.
Common error
Do not combine "is" with "participated" as it creates a grammatically incorrect passive voice. The correct construction would use "participated" after auxiliary verbs like "has", "had", or "was/were" in past tense contexts, but never directly after "is" to denote present actions or states.
