Grammar
past tense or present tense
Hi,
I have a question whether i should write everything in past tense or only this exception.
In the paper, since the event has been done, I normally wrote everything in past tense. However, if it is a fact, and still is, should i leave it in present tense?
For example, should i say," USA has many landmarks such as yellowstone park, grand canyon,etc. " should i say "has" or "had"
also, can i say ," New York is/was a city of night life." in the paper?
which tense should i say in the case?
thanks

clee62 should I say," USA has many landmarks such as yellowstone park, grand canyon,etc. " should I say "has" or "had" has. But you'll never have a good paper unless you learn to capitalize properly.
