How do you use different tenses in a sentence?

I have heard that Mona left Manchester this morning, and has already arrived in London, where she will be for the next three weeks. Here, we have present perfect tense, simple past tense and simple future tense all in the same sentence, but they all make sense together to create a logical sequence of events.

Can you use different tenses in the same paragraph?

Writers should be careful to use the exact tense needed to describe, narrate, or explain. Do not switch from one tense to another unless the timing of an action demands that you do. Keep verb tense consistent in sentences, paragraphs, and essays.

What do you change when you use different tenses to express ideas or content?

We use past tense to write about the past. We use present tense to write about facts, opinions, or things that happen regularly. We use future tense to write about future events.
