What �s wrong with this sentence? A native said it has a horrible grammar mistake but I can,t see it. Maybe I try too hard...
" His face becomes tense and I feel his body stiffens for a second..." |

Maybe I �m wrong but I �d never say "his face" becomes tense ... Maybe "the muscles of his face" ...? or "he becomes tense" ? And "feel his body stiffen" , no " s ". Just an opinion, Magdalena |

The look or smile on someone �s face can seem stiff - but usually when you write about something, it is written in past tense.

As already mentioned:
"His face becomes tense and I feel his body stiffen for a second."
The above sentence is perfectly okay now, it would usually have some kind of a lead-in such as: "As I place my hand in his..."
Cheers,
