Books'-tense. Past..present [future?!] tense.
#3
RE: Books'-tense. Past..present [future?!] tense.
Yes... I know but I mean why doesn't it read well? why is the future less readable than the past and present? Is it something psychological? And if it is...I wonder what? Why doesn't the future-tense read well?

And on a similar note why is it harder to write well in present-tense than in past tense? Is it that the nearer to the future the harder to write/understand? If so, why? Why isn't nearer to the past harder? Why the future?
