[Grammar] English tenses and conjunctions

[leslieking]

Hi,
Is it possible to have two tenses in one sentence separated with a conjunction?

e.g

1. My suitcase is wet because it's raining.

My suitcase is wet = Present tense
because = conjunction
It's raining = Present continuous tense

I suppose this isn't possible without a conjunction. Right?

Your sentence is fine. It could still happen without a conjunction.

I am stranded here; my brother took the car.
