What's the difference

Hi ! I want to ask something

here is text. ( people are gathering around and talking)

a: yesterday, I was drinking so much. this is stupid

b: yes, it was stupid

....

1) my question is why they are use different verb? ( is stupid and was stupid) even same incident!

could it change the meaning ?

2) using past verb means it isn't stupid now?


thank you so much!! have a good day!

  • a: Y esterday, I was drinking so much.
  • T his is stupid.
  • b: Y es, it was stupid .
  • That is not a logical sequence.
  • A says that this current gathering and talking is stupid.

a: Yesterday, I was drinking so much. This is stupid.

b: Yes, it was stupid.


That is not a logical sequence. A says that this current gathering and talking is stupid.

B refers to something else being stupid, perhaps A's comment.

b: yes, it was stupid

Where did you get this dialog? It is very unrealistic. Try this:

A:  I drank too much last night. (past)
B:  That was stupid. (past)
A:  Yes, I know. (present)
