But here's the thing I have learned: you can't always remain in a singular tense.
For instance:
Today is warm, but yesterday was cold.
Before the comma, we have present tense, after the comma there is past tense.
Suck on that, teacher.
I was always taught that a preposition is something you should never end a sentence with.

I've come to terms with it being dependent on how formal you want to be. You can write a sentence any way you want to make it easier for the average reader to grasp.
Make it too grammatically correct and too formal, they'll feel like they're reading a boring essay.
