I hope all is well with you and your team. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been more than five years since we last met at the San Francisco Airport in December of 2017. The podcast has become even more amazing since then. Keep up the good work. I have a quick grammar question that I\u2019d love to hear your team talk about on the podcast. In the statement \u201cI figured out what all that noise coming from the basement (a) is (b) was.\u201d This is because the verb from the main sentence, \u2018figure\u2019, is in its past tense. I think I\u2019ve seen both. Am I correct or am I hallucinating? If people do use both then when to use \u2018is\u2019 and when to use \u2018was\u2019? I greatly appreciate it if your team could talk about this grammar rule.
