Grammar
historical present
0 When I was in school, years ago, we had to use what was called "historical present tense" when talking about characters or happenings in books. For example, we would write "Hamlet calls to his mother" not "Hamlet called to his mother." Is this still correct grammar? Or has it been revised? 0-
