Could anybody correct these three sentences for me?
I actually think that simple present tense is better here ,as I saw many writers us this tense in there writing of the summary. But our teacher require us to us Simple past tense.
(1) A new role, Donald Farfrae appeared at that time and helped Henchard solve the problem about sprouted grain , and then he became the general manager and confidant.
(2) After meeting Susan secretly, Henchard and Susan/ them decided to remarry although Henchard had met Lucetta before.
(3) After a few events, Farfrae take over Henchard business and his position of major.
Many thanks in advance.
