Answer
No, it is not always correct to use present tense for questions and past tense for answers. The tense of the answer typically matches the tense of the question, or reflects the time frame of the information being conveyed.
For example:
- If the question is in the present tense: "What are you doing?" The answer would be in the present tense: "I am studying."
- If the question is in the past tense: "What did you do yesterday?" The answer would be in the past tense: "I went to the park."
- If the question is in the future tense: "What will you do tomorrow?" The answer would be in the future tense: "I will visit my friend."
