Согласование времен.

Sequence of Tenses

В английском языке существует закон согласования времен, который действует в том случае, если действие относится к действующим лицам и событиям, происходящим в одном и том же месте, в одну и ту же историческую эпоху. Закон согласования времен действует преимущественно в сложных предложениях с придаточным дополнительным.

Правила согласования времен:

1. Если в главном предложении глагол- сказуемое стоит в настоящем или будущем времени, глагол-сказуемое в придаточном может стоять в любом времени, требуемом по смыслу:

I know that she is a good pupil.

He will say that he is your friend.

I know that she was a good pupil last year.

He will say that they lived in Kiev.

I know that she will be a good pupil next year.

2. Если в главном предложении глагол- сказуемое стоит в прошедшем времени, глагол- сказуемое в придаточном обязательно стоит в одном из прошедших времен в будущем в прошедшем.- Future in the Past.

He told me that his father was a teacher.

He told me that his father had been a teacher.

Victor though t that I was singing an Italian song.

He told me that he would go to the South in summer.

3.Если в главном предложении стоит какое-нибудь из прошедших времен (Past Indefinite, Past Continuous), то Past Indefinite и Past Continuous в придаточном показывают, действие произошло одновременно с действием глагола в главном предложении:

He was telling us that he had a good ear for music.

She said that she was making a new dress for her daughter.

Past Perfect и Past Perfect Continuous в придаточном предложении показывают, что действие произошло раньше:

I thought that you had seen her.

She said she had been reading that book for a long time.

 

Future in the Past (в любой форме) в придаточном предложении показывает, что действие произойдет позже, чем действие в главном предложении:

I thought you would come to see me.

She said that they would be sitting in the 2^nd row.

He told us that his brother would have written a poem by the end je the following week.
