which one is the correct one?
"this is what i was talking about"
or
"this was what i was talking about"
i was taught by my teacher that you have to use the same tense on a single sentence so i assume the second one is correct?

@safaazka it’s almost the same, and can definitely be used in the same context.
But if you want to be specific it does matter, if this is what you were recently talking about you would use the first one but if this is what you were talking about a while ago you should use the second one instead :)
Because of “was” in the second sentence indicates it was in the past or not recently.
