 newspaper time
A now-happening protest may be finished in a few hours.
A now-happening rainfall and flood can last for a few days.
But a report can not tell how long the case really lasts. So how can a reporter now report a now-happening case in a tense so that it is still valid tomorrow as newspaper's readers see it?
That is to say, a man says something now and readers will hear it tomorrow in a correct tense. What kind of a tense it is? |
