Top answer
After John reached home, he hang the painting on a wall of the living room. So he used a hammer to hit the nails into the wall, but he missed it and hit his thumb instead. If the second sentence wasn't there I would say it would be correct, he hung the painting.
- After John reached home, he hang the painting on a wall of the living room.
- So he used a hammer to hit the nails into the wall, but he missed it and hit his thumb instead.
- If the second sentence wasn't there I would say it would be correct, he hung the painting.
- But with the second sentence, he hasn't hung the painting yet so the first sentence should be some sort of future tense.
- I would rewrite the statement like this: After John arrived home, he planned to hang the painting on a wall in the living room.
