is/was

[puzzle]

It is me he blamed.
It was me he blamed.

I. Do both "is" and " was" mean the same in this case?
II. If not, any differences between "is" and "was" in this case?

Please.

I think is clear

the persent tens and the past tens

[puzzle]

I understand " is " and "was" are different tenses. But, if I tell somebody the case, which sentence should I say? For example:

A."He blamed whom?"
B."It is me he blamed." Or " It was me he blamed." Or both are ok ?

[FuNtOlOvE]

If you talk about something happen before or time ago you will use (was).

like = you talk about yesterday or a while ago

and If you talk about something right now or just happend you will use (is).

That is it.

Can you tell me how you differentiate "a while ago " and "just happend" ?

Just happened >> happened only a moment ago/very recently

"a while ago" >> some time ago, could be hours, days, weeks, months - depending on the context.

As to your original question, It is me he blamed - the situation is current. You have just been accused of something.

It was me he blamed - the situation is in the past. You were accused of something a while ago.
