Can I use different tenses here?
Hi, everyone.
Can I use different tenses before and after the conjunction "and" ?
for example, here is a sentence from a news article and what I want is to discard the participle usage in this sentence:
" Led by the Civil Human Rights Front, the protesters represented at least five other groups, including the League of Social Democrats and Democratic Party."
and I rewrote it as:
"The protesters were led by the Civil Human Rights Front and represented at least five other groups. They include the League of Social Democrats and Democratic Party."
Is my rewrote correct ? are there a better way to rewrite this sentence?
Thanks

Yes, that is OK. As is usually the case with published text, the original sentence is the best choice.
