Question

Need questions, comments, and concerns on this paragraph. Thanks!

Human interaction has became more complex and intense. Both people and resources became more and more concentrated in settlements. In early settlements, rulers collected food and needed goods in shared storage places, where they could guarded and their gathering and distribution controlled.

Answer 1

In the first sentence, you say "has become" but in the next few sentences, you use purely past tense. You might want to change the "became" in the second sentence to "have become" because you're talking about the present moment. Then, after that, it makes sense to use past tense.
Does that make sense, @greatgatbsy33 ?

Answer 5

sure! what do you think is meant by 'questions'? Like, questions about the subject matter of the paragraph? Or questions about the writing in the paragraph?

Answer 6

so heres a general example

bananas are a native fruit to a few countries and states. one of these countries is colombia. colombia produces and exports many bananas to many corners of the globe. bananas have been around for a long time.

(idk i just made that up) so some good questions for that is

-what specific countries?
-how long have they been around?
-how many bananas are exported from colombia daily?
-where are some places colombia exports bananas to?

cool. So for the paragraph you posted, one of my immediate questions would be, "How did later settlements differ from early settlements?"

Or, "What was human interaction like before settlements?"
