"Thank you for teaching me English."
"Thank you for teaching me English."
1) I am thankful that you taught me English. ( A past sentence)
2) I am thankful that you teach me English. ( A general statement )
I think that we can infer the two meanings although we usually mean #1. Do you think that the example sentence can have the two meanings and we should figure it out by context? What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual.
