were out last night and she reaches over.... Hi, you guys! here are some lines from TV sitcom Friends, the tense here is a little bit confusing, could you please help me out? 【(Rachel enters from the main door) Phoebe: (to Rachel) Oh Rachel: Hi Phoebe: Thank God you're here. Listen to this! Rachel: what? Phoebe: Joey and my friend were out last night and having dinner and she reaches over and takes a few of his fries... Rachel: Oh! Oh, no!】 what i don't understand is what Phoebe said: 【 Joey and my friend were out last night and having dinner and she reaches over and takes a few of his fries...】 “reach” and “take” are activities that happened last night， so why are they in simple present tense? should they not be "reached over" and "took"? thank you very much, i really appreciate if you could help me!
