Explicații:
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 devine Past Tense:
She said: "I am sure you are ok." >> She said that she was sure I was ok.
- 2. Past Tense devine Past Perfect:
She said: "I was sure you were ok." >> She said that she had been sure I had been ok.
- 3. Future devine Conditional Present:
She said: "I will look for you." >> She said that she would look for me.
Succes!
