 Re: a lot of questions
Click on your profile and there's an option to look at all of your pasts.
1 When the sequence is clear, we often just use the simple past- before/after make the sequnce of events clear.
2 The present simple can be used for an action of very short duration at the exact moment it happens- the prgressive implies duration, while your examples are very short (have little duration)
3 You can use both forms
4 That's a mistake; it should be 'have to say'. |
