Understanding the Concept
* Past Tense: Describes actions or events that happened in the past. (e.g., "Did you eat breakfast?")
* Present Tense: Describes actions or events that are happening now or are generally true. (e.g., "Do you eat breakfast every day?")
Combining Tenses in a Question
You can combine past and present tense in a question to make a comparison or contrast between different time periods. Here are a few examples:
* Did you use to enjoy playing video games, or do you still like to play them now? (Past tense "used to" and present tense "do you still like")
* Was the weather better yesterday, or is it better today? (Past tense "was" and present tense "is")
* Did you have a busy schedule last week, or are you busy this week? (Past tense "did you have" and present tense "are you")
