Grammar
Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me if either "bring" or "brought" is correct in the following text?
He believed that it was important for newspapers to serve a social purpose and help protect people from dishonesty and corruption. After a few years, he was able to buy another newspaper, this time in New York, and bring/brought his populist approach to an even larger audience.
I think "brought" is correct, but in the text, "bring" has been used.
Regards,
Joseph
