In English grammar, only verbs (one of the parts of speech) can have the various tenses. So this question is referring to the use of various verb forms in sentences.\n\nFor my illustration, let me use two very simple verbs - cook;  see\n    Present            : cook;          see\n    Past                 : cooked;      saw\n    Future              : will cook;     will see\n    Past participle   : cooked;      seen\n\nPast tense is one of three of the simple tenses, which are present tense, past tense and future tense. The past tense form is used to describe something that happened in the past, e.g.\n   a) She cooked dinner for everyone.  (cooked)\n   b) I saw him just now.                      (saw)\n\nPast participle form of the verb is used when making sentences using the perfect tenses (present perfect tense, past perfect tense, future perfect tense), e.g.\n   a) She has cooked for everyone.\n   b) She had cooked dinner by the time we arrived.\n   c) She will have cooked dinner by this time tomorrow.\n\n   a) She has seen the movie many times.\n   b) She had seen him taking the money.\n   c) She will have seen everything by now.\n\nI hope you notice when using past participle, you MUST use what is called 'helpers', the little words that make the sentence grammatically correct - has, have, had, will have\n\nI realise these days many people do not use properly constructed sentences. I have tried to make my explanation as simple as possible, and I really hope this helps. I take my leave with this very simple example of a commonly made mistake:\n   a) I seen her already.  (wrong)\n   b) I have seen her already.  (correct)

This is completely accurate:\n\nDid you feel something was wrong whilst you were writing your dedication?\n\nNOTE:  Whilst is the grammatically correct form in this context not while.

the first one was in past tense and the other one is in past progressive tense\nthe meaning is the same. the difference is how the sentence was constructed

This sentence is correct.  In this form, "how" is serving as a subordinating conjunction...it is taking the clause "he seemed to be living on a strip..." and making it into a noun clause so that it can serve as as the direct object of "He recalls."\n\nAlso, your use of "lay" is the correct use of the past tense of "lie" (to recline)...as opposed to "laid" (past tense of "lay"--"to place") as someone else suggested...

Sentence number 2 is correct.\n\nThe reason sentence 1 is not correct is because it has a dangling participle. In other words, the participle cannot distinguish what it wants to describe. \n\nIt could be that you realize how much different you have been than before (like in sentence 2)\nOR------\nit could be that you realize how FREQUENTLY you have been different than before.\n\nIf you read sentence 1, you will realize that both senerios could be true. \n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

How about\n\nAnna has bathed, and now should brush the terrier.  \n\nIt keeps "has bathed" present tense, and "should brush" is also present tense.

The tense depends on where it is at in the resume.\n\nAn objective section - so be future tense.\n\nYour current job should be present tense\n\nPast jobs should be past tense.

The present tense is used for things that are either 1. regular habits or 2. always true.  For example: I wake up at 8am everyday.   The earth is round.  \n\nThe past tense is used to answer things that happened in a known or specific time.  For example: I went to the movies last week.  \n\nHowever, the question you are asking seems to be part of a poem or lyric.  Without further context, it would be impossible to ascertain who the people are or what they are doing.

Me gustaria que mi madre fuera mas alta.\n\nAll too frequently, the topic of the subjunctive is made far more difficult than is necessary. The subjunctive is not a tense; rather, it is a mood. Tense refers to when an action takes place (past, present, future), while mood merely reflects how the speaker feels about the action. The subjunctive mood is rarely used in English, but it is widely used in Spanish. \n\nHere are some examples of the subjunctive being used in English:\n\nThe doctor recommends that he take the pills with food.\nSubjunctive conjugation: he take\n\nThe law requires that you be 18 years old to vote.\nSubjunctive conjugation: you be\n\nIf I were a rich man, I wouldn't have to work hard.\nSubjunctive conjugation: I were

Is the phrase "has now back" used grammatically correct in this context?\n\nNo....\n\nThe benefit of the strategic decision is that the Board of Governor is now back to operate on the right track.

It is perfectly correct. You are talking about "this year", that is a period of time that has begun but has not ended yet. So you need to use a Present Perfect.\n\n"I had heard" only implies that you have heard another one after that, which you have found to be better. So, your sentence is not only correct, but the best choice, from a grammatical point of view.

"knew" is "know" in the past tense. Since "did" is already in the past tense, no need to repeat it twice.\n\nSame with every verb: I didn't go (not didn't went)\nI didn't swim (not didn't swam)

Options 1 and 3 are grammatically correct.  One does not need to use the perfect tense in this case, but if one does, they should use the third person plural for that particular example, as the subject of "to happen" is "events", not "one".

You want to describe the phrase?\n\nOr do you want an equivalent of your long-winded (that describes it) phrase in a single adjective?\n\nPrecambrian or Precambrianic...   ?

Alex Ortiz's answers above are correct, assuming that you are supposed to address Patricia as "tu".  If she is an elder, or less familiar to you, then you should be using "usted":\n1. Le sugiero que Ud. tome las cosas con calma.\n2. Le recomendo que Ud. se vista bien.\n3. Es importante que Ud. llegue a tiempo.\n4. Le aconsejo que Ud. se acueste temprano.\n\nWHY???\nWhether you use tú or Usted, you are making the suggestion/recommendation/advice TO Patricia, so you need to use a direct object pronoun (te or le).  You are suggesting that she do something, which is not a definite action. This is where you would use a subjunctive (subjunctives are difficult for us non-native spanish speakers to grasp!).
