Hey, this is exactly what I was looking for all these years. This is such a brilliant video for all non-English researchers to write good research papers. I am looking forward to more videos.
Cheers! Delighted we could help clarify this issue for you. If you are looking for more tips on writing research papers, look for a video on writing the Literature Review section to be uploaded in a few hours.
I'm mostly confused about tense shifts. For example: "Previous studies mostly aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between parental expectations and academic performance". Would I have to write: "Previous studies mostly aimed to examine whether there was a relationship between parental expectations and academic performance." I think the first sentence is more correct, as they aimed to discover general truths. I find, however, that I have too many tense shifts in my writing. So I get seriously confused! Also, it is way more difficult to discover general truths in social science, so I get more in doubt on whether I should use present tense or simple past when discussing research results. And sometimes several results were found in a single study, where some could be considered general while others were not, why I am in doubt on whether I should use present or simple past. Until recently, I never thought about the use of tenses, but now that I do, I find myself correcting my writing again and again without ever reaching certainty on which tense is correct.
Thank you so much professor for your time and thoughts to share this comprehensive and extremely helpful presentation and explanation about using these three tenses in the thesis writing..
Way to go! So glad we could help. Let your friends, peers, and colleagues know about our channel. And let us know if there are any other academic topics that you have burning questions about--we'll see what we can do!
Hi Dr I'm from ethiopia.This was my finding you clearly describing for me.your splendifirous expration makes me to score good grade for my design project.
Sir, I am quite confusing when you only mentioned the use of Present Tense in the Literature Review section. My professor said that Past Tense could also be used. Could you help me to clarify this matter?
past tense is used when you want the focus on the study itself or the people who studied it present tense is used when you share your own views of the previous study
I got bored with this video. I found the Turabian distinction between passive verbs and action verbs very useful. Rule of thumb: action verbs are preferable. An action verb is when the subject of the sentence is acting upon an object. Example: "the pterodactyl pecked the toddler's eyes out," pterodactyl being the subject of the sentence and toddler being the object. In a passive verb, the subject of the sentence has an action being performed on it by an object. Example: "the midget's eyes were pecked out by a clownfish."

my confusion is when should I use simple past tense (was, were) and present/past perfect tense (has, have + v3) in research writing.
Thank you sir. .. it saved my time 🕞
Excellent! Is passive or active which structure good for research paper writing?
Good video, but there are teleprompters that allow you to continue looking into the camera.
