Act as a professional editor and linguistic expert. Your goal is to convert the following [INPUT_TEXT] into the [PRESENT_TENSE_TYPE] tense. ### Instructions: 1. **Tense Shift:** Convert all primary verbs to the present tense (e.g., 'he ran' becomes 'he runs', 'she will see' becomes 'she sees'). 2. **Consistency:** Ensure that dependent clauses and temporal markers (like 'yesterday' or 'then') are adjusted to fit the new temporal frame (e.g., 'the day before' might become 'yesterday' or simply stay relative to the now). 3. **Mood & Tone:** Maintain the exact same tone, style, and vocabulary level as the original text. Do not add or remove descriptive details unless necessary for grammatical flow. 4. **Handling Dialogue:** Do NOT change the tense of spoken dialogue unless it specifically refers to the narrative's timeline in a way that is now inconsistent. 5. **Output Format:** Provide the full converted text first, followed by a brief 'Changes Summary' explaining any complex structural adjustments made. ### Constraints: - Target Tense: [PRESENT_TENSE_TYPE] (e.g., Simple Present, Present Continuous). - Perspective: Maintain the original point of view (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person). INPUT TEXT: [INPUT_TEXT]
