Tense following 'after' clause

Hi,

The overall tense of the passage is present tense:

a) After I received training, I am able to operate websites. Sounds wrong

b) After I received training, I was able to operate websites. OK

1) Is a correct, since I am still able to operate them?

2) Is c better? Yes

c) Because I received training, I am able to operate websites.

Thanks, Clive.

I agree a sounds wrong, but what if the rest of my passage is present tense and I want to say that I am still able to operate, not that I was able to operate?

Hi,

a) After I received training, I am still able to operate websites. Sounds like the training might have ben be a reason you couldn't.

Consider this more reasonable example.

After I broke my arm, I am still able to drive.

Clivea) After I received training, I am able to operate websites. Sounds wrong

OK, so how do I say this then? SO that it is still saying that I am presently able to operate, once I received training?

Thanks

Hi,

I suggested

Because I received training, I am able to operate websites.



( I still don't understand what you mean by 'operate'. )
