I still remember when I learned that the Sun was a star. I was six years old when my uncle told me about it. I actually asked him what the Sun was and his answer pretty much shocked me to the core. I already knew the Earth revolved around the Sun so learning that the Sun is just one of little tiny bright lights at night was a true eye opener. That night I looked up the sky again and wondered if there are other people up there.....
- sliverstorm 15y agowas a star? :)
- EREFUNDO 15y agoOops misstype! We still have 5 billion years before we could refer to it as "was a star".....lol I just type what comes to mind and rarely do editing.....
- mortenjorck 15y agoActually, in narrative writing, as you were doing, you should use consistent tense. So you were correct to use "was," as the sun was a star back then, independent of the fact that it also is now.
- EREFUNDO 15y agoThat's probably why it just came naturally to me because I do read quite a bit and may have seen this word arrangement many times before. My subconscious mind were just spitting out words as I write them. English is only my second language though, I am so much better in Filipino.....lol
