I �m not 100% up on all the grammar rules, so I get frustrated sometimes on why a sentence can be correct.
My sentence is:
"The Carter family chose Africa because they love wild animals."
Koreans always push this idea that the verbs have to match in a sentence. Obviously that is not the case. You can have two clauses that represent different tenses. In the above case, a decision was made in the past in the first clause and in the second clause a fact is being represented.
So how can I express the grammar rule to someone so they can understand it? What is the particular rule involved? Any help would be appreciated.
I even broke it down simply in Q&A format:
Q: Where did the Carter family choose to go?
A: They chose to go to Africa.
Q: Why did they choose Africa?
A: Because they love wild animals.
Without the official grammar rule I cannot put this to rest unfortunately, lol.
