This is for the grammar police. OK, This is the Internet so I don't like using other people's real names. So lets call him Sally. Years ago Sally and I worked together for 3 years. Sally died last week and his obituary listed his age as the same as mine, which was a surprise to me. So I commented "Sally and I are the same age" and was corrected to "Sally and I were the same age." Which is correct?
I speak of my son in present tense.
oh gosh... I am so sorry...
