00The general rule is verb tense agreement. I certainly don't want to lead you wrong though, and I don't claim to be the expert onthe subject. Hopefully, we will get additional comments. I will also check with my English Professor today to ask the question.0

00Use the "is" version. Unless something has happened to explain his absense, it remains strange at this moment in time.02br

00Actually you 're right ! this is a terrible question 05002br
02br
00So you say "is" is better than "was" . 02br
02br
00In fact, I 'm agree to this one more than other one, I think this answer can include "was " version! , I mean it 's more complete , right ?!010id6
