Present and past tense together
Hi,
I just saw the movie and it sucks/sucked.
Which one is right - suck or sucked? Saw the movie is past tense, so I am wondering.
Thank you.

anonymous Which one is right - suck or sucked? If you are talking to your boss or to anyone you don't know, like a civil servant or a shopkeeper, there is no right way to use this word. Use it only with very close friends if you feel you must use it at all.
