應用現在式還是過去式？

應該係::
XXX's performance in YYY is excellent.
因為,就算果套戲係好耐之前,
但係到而家,XXX係YYY裡面的演出仲係好既.
所以應用現在式.

如果你用XXX's performance in YYY was excellent.的話..
咁..姐係解..XXX係YYY裡面的演出之前係好..
不過既而家演出就唔好啦喎...

不過..
如果XXX而家已經死左..
咁就應用XXX's performance in YYY was excellent.
因為XXX既演出已經係一個過去啦...

順帶一提...
如果你係想講個故事裡面發生既事既..就係用現在式...
例如你想講::
"ZZZ係第一幕食緊一個蘋果。"
就係::ZZZ is eating an apple in scene 1.

呀..仲有..如果你想有多D有" XXX's performance in YYY is excellent. "既expression...
可能睇下下面::
1. XXX has done an excellent job in YYY.
2. The performance of XXX is excellent in YYY.
3. XXX has an excellent performance in YYY.
等等...英文既變化好多..除左呢D之外一定仲有..
不過我就唔係好識啦..

希望以上幫到你啦!

「正在」一詞亦表示現在的意思,所以應用現在式,所以應是
XXX's performance in YYY is excellent
再者,此句亦有讚賞的意思。

若果你說XXX's performance in YYY was excellent.
亦暗示XXX從前是演得很好,現在則不夠好???此句亦有多少貶低某人的成份啊!
此句用來讚賞一些已故的XXXX的performance則冇問題。

XXX's performance in YYY is excellent.

要因情況而定. 如果你想講一齣舊的電影, 就用過去式. 但你所講的是眼前或剛剛或不久以前看過的電影, 就用過去式.

XXX's performance in YYY is excellent.

I think unless you are talking about a particular drama or a broadway show (live performances) where it was last night's performance, a movie, in similar ways as a novel, will use present tense to describe works done by an artist.

You can verify it by going to movie review websites on yahoo.

XXX's performance in YYY was excellent.
