There are at least four time expressions there, all in a single sentence. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 20:54 | comment | added | Peter Shor | What about: Did you order the taxi that is standing outside our house? That's a single sentence. Which tense should it have throughout? | |
| May 20, 2019 at 20:34 | comment | added | user888379 | @user349044 I'd have something of the opposite reaction, i.e. if I read "I saw the girl who is standing outside our house", I'd waste a fair amount of time trying to figure out the intended meaning of the sentence. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 20:02 | comment | added | user349044 | Thank you, appreciated... It just didn't make much sense to me, since she is still here, because "I saw the girl who was standing ..." sounds like she has gone somewhere. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 19:52 | comment | added | KillingTime | What about the scenario where I saw the girl but now cannot (because I'm away from the window) but the girl is still there? In that case, it would be "I saw the girl who is standing outside our house". | |
