I find/found it difficult to park a/the car along a/the kerb.

I find it difficult to park a/the car along a/the kerb.

I found it difficult to park a/the car along a/the kerb.

Suppose I found this to be the case some time ago and I still find this to hold true, what should I say? Should I use the present tense or the past tense?

Also, could you please tell me what articles I should use here?

Thank you in advance.

My take: Peaceblinkfriend Suppose I found this to be the case some time ago and I still find this to hold true Depends on your emphasis. I would use the present tense unless I was referring to a particular incident in the past. I find/found it difficult to park a/the car along a/the kerb.
