History happens right after it happened as it has moved from the present into the past ;D

Either Past Simple (it happened) or Past Simple Continuous (it happened and is still happening) methinks ;D
I spent most of yesterday afternoon teaching this and it has driven me bats so today I've got some nice "Civilisation" lessons.... aka talk about something and then watch a short program about it, e.g. racism and bigotry followed by Fawlty Towers "The Germans" episode. Can you believe I've been getting away with this malarky for 7 years? ;D

To be fair, history is starting continuously. That means every post on this forum is historic by definition... :)

No - just starting to get a handle on Reverse Polish Notation to apply it to XML coding ... except I tried applying it to grammar ...  (not that the "children" of today are required to learn it since it would stifle their creativity and otherwise hurt their self esteem)
