Tenses

I am writing an incident and line comes whose tenses confused me. Help me please and check this!
My recent incident gave me the chance to know these people as human beings and not the monster that rips our teeth out.

Thanks!

The tenses are fine. However, there is an incompatibility between "human beings" (plural) and "monster" (singular).

Yes. In English we don't normally say "my incident" when we mean "an incident that happened to me".

What about an incident like my first visit to some place or driving the car for the first time?
Then it be my incident?

No. It's never your incident. Incidents don't belong to people. They happen to people.
