Unit 8. The sequence of Tenses
|
The sequence of tenses is a dependence of the tense of the verb in a subordinate clause on that of the verb in the principal clause: - the actions take place at the same time: e. g. I see that you know her well; - the action in the subordinate clause precedes that in the principal clause: e.g. She knows that she has met us; - the action in the subordinate clause follows the action in the principal clause: e. g. I hoped you would stay at home; e. g. I knew that you were staying here; e.g. I knew that he had stayed. |
