I understand that you must use past tense when writing minutes. However, there are some instances when I am not sure if past tense should be used as it would either change the meaning of the sentence or sound weird. Below are some situations which I have trouble with:
1.When something is in progress / happen in future.
Example:
2.When Something is not Certain.
Example :
yapcs88 The team is checking on the machine. Checks on the system are being done. All the members agree to build a new building.
New words, one handy idiom, and a 2-minute quiz — delivered to your inbox to keep your streak alive.
yapcs88The team is checking on the machine.
Checks on the system are being done.
All the members agree to build a new building.
OK, supposing that these things were all true at the time of the meeting for which you are taking the minutes.
yapcs88The construction of a new building will start ...
Correct.
