Were/Was Currently

"Efforts were currently being made to halt the practice."

Is that sentence grammatically correct? Shoudn't it be "Efforts are currently being made to halt the practice."?

Can were/was mean are/is in certain contexts?

  

Top answer

Yes, your correction is on point. Both "was" and "were" are past tense and contradict "currently". One cannot currently do something in the past, but they may in the future.
