Our question today is from
ely_baby, who wants to know: When writing mostly in the present tense, what tense should be used for events in the past?
There are a lot of past tense choices, and all of them can work with a present tense narrative. (
I will use Daisy, from Agents of SHIELD, to illustrate the options with some present day action and past history. )

Once you make your best effort, it's also a good idea to run your story past a native speaker, especially someone who is a good grammar beta. There are just some times when the answer is, "That sounds strange, even though technically it would be correct. We use this choice instead." (I have to say, though, your English looks excellent!)
