Explicații - regula observată:
Atunci când verbul din propoziţia principală (She said, he asked etc.) este la un timp trecut, atunci se schimbă şi timpurile verbale din propoziţia sau propoziţiile secundare, ordonându-se cronologic.
- 1. Present Tense Simple devine Past Tense Simple:
She said: "I am sure you are ok." >> She said that she was sure I was ok.
- 2. Present Perfect Simple devine Past Perfect Simple:
She said: "I have waited for you." >> She said she had waited for you.
- 3. Present Tense Continuous devine Past Tense Continuous:
She said: "I am learning." >> She said that she was learning.
- 4. Past Tense Simple devine Past Perfect Simple:
She said: "I was sure you were ok." >> She said that she had been sure I had been ok.
- 5. Future devine Conditional Present:
She said: "I will look for you" >> She said that she would look for me.
