I am trying to tell a thing that happened in the past. But that thing has a fact that is still true in the present. Could you tell me which one of the following is true?
- I had a lesson with a tutor yesterday, and she is a mom of 3 daughters. (Yesterday, I had a lesson with a tutor who is a mom of 3 daughters)
- I had a lesson with a tutor yesterday, and she was a mom of 3 daughters. (Yesterday, I had a lesson with a tutor who was a mom of 3 daughters)
My confusion comes from the conflict between tense consistency and a fact. The first pair of sentences make sense to me as the tutor is still a mon of 3 daughters now. The second pair of sentences keep consistent between "had a lesson" and "she was". But I feel it is a bit wrong to use "She was" as it indicates "She is not a mom of 3 daughters now", which is opposed to the fact.
