AnonymousWhich tense do we use when we just talk about the event, not time.Almost always, one of the present tenses. Describe a photo exactly as you would describe the scene that was photographed. This usually involves the present continuous unless the verb is non-progressive. The girl is sitting on the couch. She is my cousin.
