Grammar
the past tense
Please help me. Is it right if I use the past tense in the following sentence.
Thank you very much for your help and Merry Christmas!
"Long ago, my younger sister cried all night."
Thank you very much for your help and Merry Christmas!
"Long ago, my younger sister cried all night."

It is fine grammatically. I'm not sure why you've added "long ago". It doesn't seem usual to say "long ago" with a single case of crying all night.
