Can I say the following?
1. He is always put me in his mind, he want to make a trouble with me.
2. He was put out as he lost his money.
3. He is put out now as he is losing his money.
 
1. He always has me on his mind because he wants to make trouble with me.
2. He is put out because he lost his money
3. He is put out because he is losing money.
 
Is it correct to say this?
I want to talk about past.
1. He was put out (became angry) because he lost his money yesterday.
 
He was upset because he had lost his money.
 
1. He always has me on his mind because he wants to make trouble with me.
2. He is put out because he lost his money
3. He is put out because he is losing money.
Please look at your answer No,2. Is it normal to use present and past in one sentence or I have to say, ....because he has lost....?
 
So
1. I am angry because I lost my friend.
2. I am angry because I have lost my friend.
Is it one and the same?
 
Why did YOU use the past in this sentence?
Because the upset happened in the past. The "because" clause answers the question "Why was he upset?"

It's quite ordinary.

Did somebody tell you not to do that?
 
So
1. I am angry because I lost my friend.
2. I am angry because I have lost my friend.
DO THEY MEAN the same THING?
Pretty much, yes.
 
Could you give me any sentences using past and present together in it?
 
So
1. I am angry because I lost my friend.
2. I am angry because I have lost my friend.
Is it one and the same?
?????
 
Could you PROVIDE any sentences using past and present together in THEM?
It depends on what you want to say.

There's nothing special about that form. In fact, they are quite ordinary.

Have you read posts #10 and #11?
 
We have been taught that the present perfect has a result in the present.
Why am I angry? Because I have lost my key/friend.
I don't think I am angry because I lost my key/friend is right unless that finished in the past.
I was angry because I lost my family in a traffic accident.
Whereas, I am angry is now, or connected to the present so I have to use present.
 
Are you telling me I can't say I am angry because I lost my keys?
 
You can say that, but as I have been taught that this is grammatically wrong.

I lost my key.
I have lost my key.
These are two sentences.
The difference between these two sentences is the difference between the simple past tense and the present perfect tense.
Oh, no , I am angry now, I have lost my friend.
When I was traveling in London, I lost my keys.
 
Oh, no, I am angry now, I have lost my keys.
 
1. He always has me on his mind because he wants to make trouble with me.
2. He is put out because he lost his money
3. He is put out because he is losing money.
I want to ask you.
Are you a teacher?
 
@sdgsdg You can find out all you need to know about me by reading my profile.

I am not going to correct every single mistake you make. (There are too many of them.

I have been speaking the language for over 70 years.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being a native speaker. As a native speaker I know things implicitly and not explicitly. It's because I know things implicitly and not explicitly that it is often hard to explain things.
