You're too caught up in specifics instead of having an answer that helps the underlying issue. Don't bandage things, fix the problem. | |

If you had provided an answer to which of these two tenses to use then you would have answered the OPs question. "However, if you HAVE the skills and are able to do them then list them" is almost an answer but does not tell the OP in what tense to list them. I think you should expand your answer, the tension is killing me. | |

| Jul 15, 2015 at 18:28 | comment | added | user37925 | Your grammar/wordage/run on sentences are hard to read in that response, I believe you mean "I left my home country to be an English teacher and taught for more than 7 years. I have answered dozens of questions like this all while teaching in my adult English classes". Then you should know that the way people translate the word 'tense' from their perceptive language to English is broad and colorful, makes me wonder why you are so 'hiccuped' on this response. | |
| Jul 15, 2015 at 18:16 | comment | added | Myles | I left my home country to be an English teacher for over 7 years. I have had to answer dozens of this sort of question in adult English classes. This is clearly a "What is the appropriate grammar in this situation?" question. | |

Until then, answer the question in the way you think fit instead of adding nothing of value by tagging into someone elses. | |
| Jul 15, 2015 at 13:35 | comment | added | Myles | It specifically asks for what tense to list skills in. What other meaning of tense would fit in this context? | |
| Jul 15, 2015 at 6:58 | comment | added | user37925 | Nor does it ask for 'verb tense' | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 21:43 | comment | added | Myles | This doesn't answer the question of what verb tense to use when listing skills. | |
