Dant Reinstate Monica | @HenryWang 1) To change the sentence to the present: She remembers seeing this man at Joe Bell's bar as a regular before he was arrested. That's all. Simply use the simple present. 2) That depends on the conversation. Either sentence could be appropriate, and both are grammatical. There is nothing special about the verb remember. The action of recalling from memory can occur in the present or in the past. When we use, for instance, the past tense of the verb to say or to bake, this also emphasizes speaking or baking that has happened in the past. | |
