Past and present tense
Dear teachers, I am confused about using tenses in writing a paragraph. Can I have both present and past tense in a paragraph or a sentence?
For example, I want to describe a cake that I tasted last week, I want to describe how it looked and tasted.. So should I use present tense because they are facts, or should I use past tense because the event happened last week?
Thank you
