Hi,

Many thanks for your time and response. I understand what you say about past tense. What if I were to write the team is led by a good manager ?
As I am suggesting that the managers proficiency is ongoing would this still be led rather lead ?

Kind Regards,

Barry

combine the sentence starting with neither ...nor


Otieno is foolish. John is foolish.

I believe that you would only use lead like this. I believe that he has led the team well and will cotinue to lead them well in the future.
I could be wrong.
