Here in this essay, whole passage is written in the present form as date is not given. But in 3rd paragraph 2nd and last line, past form of verb are used. Could any explain please?

Hi, and welcome to the forum. :hi:

I've removed the image tag from your post because it pointed to a location on your computer's C drive which wasn't accessible from the internet.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections above.

I have also corrected your thread title from "Tense related problem in a Essay writing" to "Tense-related problem in an essay".

You can't provide links that lead to your own computer. You will need to provide a link to the passage online, or you will have to write it out yourself in a post. Make sure you provide the source and author.
