Past Tense / Present Tense
1. She has mentioned that she wanted a pair of stilettos for Christmas. (Does this one mean that 'mentioned' happens from the past to present and then I'm using 'wanted' to show that she said this in the past or this is what she wanted in the past?)
2. She has mentioned that she wants a pair of stilettos for Christmas. (Meaning is the same as #1 except with 'wants' I'm saying that she still wants it now?)
Thanks.
