Should I use present tense in reports?
When is the best time to use present tense in a speech? I have both sentences and not sure which one is correct:
- (1) Peter mentioned that the formula A has been based on formula
- B. Why should I use present tense here as it is a
fact? In reporting, it also makes sense using past tense. Can the that be omitted?
Thank you.

Why did Peter said the sky was blue? Why are these two words mixed so often?
If you are reporting the words as they were said (i.e. verbals or ) (which is something you write to describe a situation, tell the reader the phrase as it is) they are to be returned as they are to be reported (sometimes called’so where’). If use quotations, first use the present tense. Wherever possible use past tense. No arguments or arguments.
Why are there people who think that the sky is always blue is at this time or because it is much logical to use the present tense. Then why is this more logical the case? I’d not go so far as to say the use, but I, in addition to Stan, find it sounds awful. I am an Asian native speaker, I like to think that my aesthetic opinion matters (whether or not it actually does).

Utilise the present if what Peter was trying to convey is about something being true in general or persistently (regardless of whether that something is in fact true in general…).
I think Peter said the sky is blue, whereas Peter said the sky in the western sky was a particularly bright orange when the sun hit the horizon that evening.

Yes, you can remove that “that ” link. I know the sentences often make them easier for somebody to understand if they’re short. When my mother speaks English only with English as my native tongue (Kingdom) is not accepted or read. I sometimes leave it in, so please don’t spit on my mother tongue. And especial. What does “the formula B” mean?
Do you really need quotes from people?
- Why is water not transparent or colorless? Why is my glass cloudy and brown?

Peter explained that water is a colorless, transparent liquid.
- Peter told the waiter his water is cloudy and brown.
Is Ptolemy wrong to be wrong when he
- claims the Earth is the axis head of our solar system?
- Ptolemy claimed that the earth was the center of the solar system and that it is orbiting the Sun. Other discoveries could illustrate the existence of Pluto and the Sun’s origin if one had not been born there before AD 70. Also, the Sun’s origin is much lower in its origin than in heaven itself.
They say that Ptolemy made a general statement and that this statement has been confirmed by the Church. ‘They both say that they said he made a general statement.’ Which one of them is just as inaccurate? The former emphasizes the generality of what was claimed (including it’s abstraction from time). The latter emphasizes the claim as historic claim: the time-limited nature of its meaning. In the present context, the claims being renamed presupposes that the claim is real and true.
IOW – It all depends on what you are really trying to say. What is the context of that situation? How can my logic be understood as much as language?
In regards to this post about the same topic, you can do the same thing with it. Can either be correct, but the connotation has to be different if you get the idea either way. If there is
none in the world, what do you define as “worrying” or “bad”?
