Hi,
(1) And, as someone who works in a public library, I expect you to do the same. I might dog-ear the pages of the books I check out, but I refrain from writing in them.
(2) I try to return my library books in the same condition they were in when I checked them out.

Why does the same 'check' use different tense?
If it's a thing that often happens, should the red part be changed to "check"?
If 'check' happened in the past, should the blue part be changed to 'checked'?
Thanks in advance!
