I have a friend who is tense. I didn't quite know what she meant. So, I asked...
After some discussion, I learned she was in the present tense. At
least I know she'd get over it. But she did indicate she was not now
but possibly would be in the future tense, or even in the future perfect
tense. Well, maybe that's better than being the the past tense. So
many of us live there; it's crowded. My goodness, what if she said she
would have been in the past perfect (or pluperfect) tense? So much
tense must involve much tension, plu-pre-perfect, or the rare but
occasionally previously perfect.
:) I am so confused.
