J.K Rowling was the author of Harry Potter

[McLeonard]

"J.K Rowling was the author of Harry Potter"


"J.K Rowling is the author of Harry Potter"

when is either of these sentences appropriate?


And I believe the answer from this question would have impact on:

"I was the one who gave the information"

" i am the one who gave the information"

J(space)K Rowling is still alive.

J(space)K Rowling is still alive.

Alright so "J.K Rowling is the author of Harry Potter"

Does that also mean I'm supposed to say

"I am the one who gave her the information" and not "I was the one who gave her the information"?.

 

[5jj]

Either is possible.

 

[McLeonard]

Either is possible.

I'm sorry sir. But I'll appreciate conditions for using the two sir. Thanks again for your input

I'm sorry. What are you apologising for? sir. There is no need to address anyone here as "Sir". It's overly formal and suggests you assume the other person is male.

But I'll I would appreciate conditions an explanation for of using how to use the two them. sir. See my note above.

Thanks again for your input. There is no need to thank anyone in advance. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any post you find helpful.

In spite of the correction provided by @5jj you are still writing J. K Rowling. Either use a full stop after each initial (J. K. Rowling) or after neither (J K Rowling). The first usage is what I was taught at school long ago, and the second is what is currently used by the influential magazine The Economist.

By the way there is no need to address us as Sir, and anyway not all of us are male.
