my lecturer corrected me by writing down in my assignment : the suicidal cases keep rising every year to the suicidal cases KEPT rising.

i am confused, i dont think it is correct to use past tense form as the cases keep growing and it has not stopped yet.

please enlighten me on this.

Hmmm, I hate to correct a lecturer without seeing the whole context, but yes, if you are talking of a present situation then 'keeps' is correct.

Yes, or 'has kept'-- but as Nona says, we need context in order to judge.
