Explanation:

In grammar it is important to keep coherence in the transitions of ideas. In the example "Yesterday she played solitaire while her brother reads a book." There are two sentences and a transition conjunction:

Sentence 1: "Yesterday she played solitaire " (which is expressed in past tense)

Sentence 2: "her brother reads a book" (Which is expressed in simple prsent tense)

Transition Conjunction: "While"

According to the adverb of time "yesterday" the whole sentence meaning and intention is expressed in past tense, so, in order to avoid a run-on mistake, both sentences must keep the past tense. The correct constructions of this sentence should be:

* "She played solitaire yesterday while her brother read a book."

* "While her brother read a book, she played solitaire yesterday." (Notice "," to connect both sentences).

* "Yesterday she played solitaire while her brother read a book."
