Question:
- Which is correct?
[list:9597a8de86]a. she puts so much oil in food
b. she put so much oil in food
[/list:u:9597a8de86]
The answer is that either is possible, depending on context. (However, you need the definite article (the) in either case.)
- a. She puts so much oil in the food she prepares that you can't taste anything else.
b. She put so much oil in the food she cooked that I can't taste anything else.
Does that help?
