Think you know it?

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

First, I must ask for your thoughts on the matter. Then we can get started.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

future?

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Well, you are correct that it does occur in the future, however, when something is written in the future tense, it will include words such as "will." Example: "You will help him later."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm, so present?

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Yes, that's correct! This is in the present tense because it uses words that describe an event that occurs regularly (the aunt sends the birthday gifts yearly, so it's a reoccurring event).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, ok thank you!!
