Hi everybody, what tense should i use while summarizing a story, the present tense or the past tense? For example: a sentense from the origin story like that " mary is beautiful" if i want to write a summary i would write it like that " mary was beautiful" another example: while describing characters in a story, should i write in the present tense or the past tense? Thanks in advance.
