One month has passed till now.In this period, the sharks taught the baby whale the killing methods

The second clause should be present perfect ?

Hi Volcano,

I think I'd like to turn the sentences around to read:

It's a month now since the sharks taught the baby whale how to kill..

Hi Volcano

Here is another suggestion:

- This past month the sharks taught the baby whale how to kill.

I'd say you could use either the simple past tense or the present perfect in that sentence.
