It is interesting to know "time is not the determining factor". Can you explain a little bit more?
Tense comes from Tempus in Latin, meaning Time. Time adverbials are determining factors: with YESTERDAY for example, we use Simple Past.
Therefore, I don't get anything from "time is not the determining factor".
:D Are you implying something we don't know?
