Present tense Quote by Danka V
““Let me clarify something for you, Damon. There is the simple present tense, which is used to describe things that take place in the present, simple past tense that describes things that occurred in the past. And then there is the tense that is used to describe the chances something has to happening. You should know about it, you just used it. It is called the simply impossible tense.””
