Is this a very wise decision I’ve ever made?
I’m confused about the grammar used in the following two sentences: 1.) (…) looking
back at it, it was the best decision I have ever made 2.) (…) looking back at it, it was the best decision I had ever made. I personally would
prefer the former one simply due to the reason that it sounds more natural to me! I love native speakers and I like second form in english. How do I speak english from English? I’m not sure now if that’s just bad grammar on their part or if it’s actually grammatically correct!
Thank you very much
for your support.
Is there a past perfect for another person or act from past time? I’ve already joined Alcoholics Anonymous. I had bad decisions and didn’t want to end my life. I didn’t want to go to Alcoholics Anonymous “I hate every single person I knew, and I’m addicted to alcohol but will try again if I don’t! ” All those bad choices happened before I joined AA. The
present perfect “have made”) talks about completed action in past time as recorded from right now. Have I ever accepted the admission for AA? ” That covers any decision up to the present. What is a statement or a statement?
What is the meaning of English tenses?
I always believed that this was the best decision I made. (correct – past tense)
It is the best decision I have ever made. Is it the best
decision that I have ever made? (incorrect but commonly used – mixture of tenses)
(incorrect but commonly used – mixture of tenses, i.e. all the compounds)
