Grammar
Was or Is
When you’re talking about a person you had interaction with in the past from minutes ago to last week and you’re describing them, do you use past tense or present tense? For example:
“The girl that was here last night was pretty.”
“I hung out with her last week. She is pretty.”
Thank you.
