Is it grammatically correct to mix "present" and "past" in a same sentence ?
How about in a same paragraph ?
Example:
1) John feels very upset (now) because (yesterday), his brother took his pencil.
2) Mr.X is a famous athlete. Since 2008 until 2010, he won more than 8 big competitions. He was born in July, 1980. He is an idol for the teenagers. He always shows good attitudes to his siblings and peers.
If it is acceptable, can someone gives me other examples to clarify this situation.
