What is the historical present? Since it’s more a matter of style than grammar, it can be hard to come to any definitive conclusions about ambiguous cases. If the event happened a few hours after the main event, it’s still a relevant news item, but the headline must be as if the information was written right now. I often come across interesting stories in novels or sometimes history, especially when the tension shifts suddenly from past to present in the narration of specific scenes or events, or in battle narratives. The present tense is used to create drama. It could be used for a situation in which you were telling a friend a story.

What is the best way to tell if you have no idea what you are talking about?

1. Did the event really happen in the past?
2. Does writing using present tense make sentences more vivid?

Your examples are all arguably in the historical present, but it’s a matter of at least some personal discretion. What does the news currently mean if you argue that the events of “today” are still technically part of the present from a newspaper’s point of view? I think it’s easier to identify the historical present in longer narratives that use it to achieve an obvious dramatic effect, whereas newspaper headlines are at least as much the product of attention-grabbing tactics and the constraints of space as they are of deep, grammatical introspection.

How are things viewed and how can I tell the difference between my opinion and mine? The last time that I saw anyone talk about the historical present was

only in Latin class.
