could you please tell me which one of the two sentences is correct.
1) I grow up with the guy who is the head in the advertising industry. 2) I grew up with the guy who is the head in the advertising industry.
I think 2nd one is correct because we are talking about the past events. But I heard the first one somewhere. so please help me with the correct sentence.
Top answer
Maybe you misheard it? "the head" doesn't make sense to me. I'd have written/said: I grew up with a guy who is a leader in the advertising business.
