Why is the following sentence Incorrect? "When Tim

finished school, his belongings were gathered by him, and

he walked home."

It's a run-on sentence

"Gathered" is a noun, and "walked" is a verb; they should

really be the same part of speech

"Gathered" Is In the past tense, and "started" Is In the

present tense; the tenses should match

"Were gathered" Is In the passive volce, while the rest of

the sentence is active
