... if you please. XD

I have a real problem with tenses - working on it - or trying but is "said" considered past tense?

Yes, this is might be a stupid question but I'd like to know.
Thanks.

Yes, it is. The present tense would be 'say'.

^_^ Don't feel bad! I get confused on these things sometimes, too. That's why I love verb charts, like the one I linked you to!

Yes, I would say that 'said' is past tense.

Hey, no problem... Tenses are nitpicky.

Yes, it's past tense. We all have these problems every now and then. XD
