Hello, everyone.
I am always very concerned with my usage of English tenses. I read all threads in this section of the forum every day. If I don't have enough time, I would first look for those concerning tenses.
A few weeks ago, I met a new friend, a young Austrilian person. We have hanged out a lot recently. I have, on many occasions, heard him tell me his stories in the present tenses. Yesterday, I read part of the novel he's writing at the moment and found that he is quite careful with tenses.
I'd like to know if there are other native speakers who, occasionally and in daily conversation, don't bother choosing between the present and past tenses.
Many thanks
Richard
