SKILL 33:
KNOWING WHEN TO USE THE PAST WITH THE PRESENT
When expressing actions we must take into consideration the
time in which they are made because an action of the past can
not be the result of a present desire, it has no logic.
To mention two events we must establish both in the same verbal time
