Is [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] the following sentence correct?

The boss finds out and got angry.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

No, it is not correct. Look at the tenses. See if you can work out why it is wrong.

(Note that I have improved your thread title. Titles should include some or all of the words and phrases you are asking us about. Your actual question - in this case you said "Is it correct" - should be in the main part of the post, not the title.)

Welcome, Noahh!

Be sure to punctuate the ends of all sentences, always.

The boss finds out and ______ angry.

It's something that happens repeatedly.

The boss _________ out and got angry.

It happened once.

It's something that happens repeatedly. . . .

Yes. It could also just be the simple present tense:

I take a pencil home from the office. The boss finds out and gets angry. The next thing I know, I'm broke and out of work, a repo man tows away my Miata, and my girlfriend dumps me for a dentist she meets bungee jumping.

 

[Tarheel]

Yes, that's possible too.

(That's a shame about your Miata. ;-) )

 

[emsr2d2]

bunjie jumping.

Bungee or bungie, but not bunjie. ;-)

Bungee or bungie, but not bunjie. ;-)

Oh, good grief. I really bunjled that one!

Yes. It could also just be the simple present tense:

I take a pencil home from the office. The boss finds out and gets angry. The next thing I know, I'm broke and out of work, a repo man tows away my Miata, and my girlfriend dumps me for a dentist she meets bungee jumping.

But then you meet somebody new. You get a better job than you had before. And you buy a Mercedes. Things are looking up!

 

[Rover_KE]

Exactly! Like that bungee-jumping dentist, you'll bounce back.

I think Noahh might have gone off on a little holiday.

I corrected that in post #8.:roll:

Bungee jumping, no doubt!

Bungee jumping, no doubt!

A bungee jumping holiday? I guess it has its ups and downs.

It's something to do during your summer, uh, break. :-(
