Wanted Dead or Alive

[schmoozed]

Someone asks me to describe my family tree. And I begin saying...

My grandpa had two sons

Does this mean that those sons are no longer alive? :roll:

not necessarily.but generally you should use the present tense in description.

When you put it that way then I would say it could be interpreted as your Grandpa is no longer alive - therefore........he HAD 2 sons,
