I keep getting confused when dealing with past tenses.
Are both of these sentences correct and essentially the same? :
a) John remained behind the wheel, peering down at him with a calm smile.
b) John remained behind the wheel and peered down with a calm smile.
Is this just a stylistic choice?
I get confused as to when it’s acceptable to add “-ing”.
When you are writing a fiction book, are you suppossed to always write in the past tense?
For example: “Jen let’s go to the store,” Ryan SAYS as he REACHES for his wallet.
Or are you suppossed to write it this way: “Jen let’s go to the store,” Ryan SAID as he REACHED for his wallet.
Does it matter if I choose to write in the past or present tense?
Did the historically fictions help us understand more about history event. I believe so but what role did they play in our study of the past?
