It’s one thing to write songs about being in prison. Plenty of rappers do that. But only a lucky few get to experience. Now T.I. is one of them. He was recently sentenced to one year in prison for owning illegal weapons.
Now T.I. is using his last few weeks of freedom to help some troubled teeangers turn their lives around with a new reality show called T.I.’s Road to Redemption. But can T.I. turn his own life around before it’s too late?

Ella foloseşte prezentul simplu pentru a vorbi despre ce se întâmplă în showul lui T.I.
Ea spune: He takes one kid to the mortuary and shows him a gangbanger. Then he rewards them.
În engleză e corect să foloseşti prezentul simplu, când merge vorba despre subiectul unei emisiuni, cârţi sau film.
De exemplu, dacă scrii despre Quantum of Solace, este
corect: At the end of the movie, James Bond kills all the bad guys.
incorect: At the end of the movie, James Bond killed all the bad guys.
Chiar dacă un film, o carte, sau o emisiune ia loc în trecut, sau ai citit/văzut în trecut trebuie deasemenea de folosit prezentul simplu.
