V-ing with reference to time
The person writing reports is my colleague.
We can change it into such:
The person who is writing reports is my colleague.
The person who is writing reports is my colleague.
The person who will be writing reports is my colleague.
The person who will write reports is my colleague.
The person who writes reports is my colleague.
The person who was writing reports is my colleague.
The person who wrote reports is my colleague.
My question is whether we can say these when we take V-ing:
1# The person who wrote reports a moment ago is my colleague.
2# The person who wrote reports last year is my colleague.
In the cases, 1# takes two actions happening almost at the same time while 2# there is a long time interval between the two actions.
Dear teachers, could you please tell me your appreciable points about it?
Thank you very much.
