Once upon a time, there is a princess called Kate. She plays with her golden ball in the park.
Is it correct to use 'is' in the first sentence which starts with 'Once upon a time'? I think 'was' should be used instead. Am I correct?
Many thanks.
@tanguatlay,
You are correct - it should be was
@saab,
And she play
ed with her golden ball in the park.
@saab,
Hi Saab and Contrex
How would I use the present tense if I were telling a story to some children.
I think I'll just skiip "Once upon a time". Am I correct?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes. "Once upon a time" means "At some time in the past".
