    Thank you.^^ I think where I've gotten confused is when the terms actually do mix. I'd have to go and look at some of my previous works but that paticular area seems to be where I get lost.

    Thanks for the clarification on the tenses.

    Or yesterday's newspaper.

    You know, do you have AIM? I think this'd be easier that way.

    I changed it to "read a story in the news yesterday." Less awkward, or no? XD

    Well, I wanted to make the point that tenses could be mixed... but if you think it'd throw other people off, I could take it out?

    Never know; could be on the ticker. But since it was a present tense showcase I think tossing in past tense would only be confusing.

    Actually, it'd be read a story in the news! Since she read the story prior to watching the weather channel on TV, it'd be in past tense. Unless I'm wrong?

    One minor thing:

    . . . and she reads a story . . . .

    But yeah, very definitive, and very useful. And a good future reference should I not want to pull hair later. (^_^)

    Haha, I can't get the Latin tense terminology out of my head about imperfect, perfect, pluperfect and all that jazz in between.

    Well, one's seen the light so far, so that's a darn good start. Nice write-up as always, Beckers.

    Finally I understand! If it was only this simple in English class... i used to play it by ear, whether it sounds right or not, based on previous readings; this places more logic in it. Good work, and thanks.
