Hi!

When we describe a picture, what's the right tense to use?:

"The man says he's happy. He takes his friend's arm".

Or

"The man is saying he's happy. He's taking his friend's arm."

Thank you!

You can use either tense.

In fact you can mix them up.

"The man is saying he's happy. He takes his friend's arm".
