Согласование времен (Sequence of Tenses). Если в главном предложении сложноподчиненного предложения глагол-сказуемое стоит в форме прошедшего времени

Если в главном предложении сложноподчиненного предложения глагол-сказуемое стоит в форме прошедшего времени, то в придаточном дополнительном предложении употребляется одна из прошедших форм.

Если действие в придаточном предложении происходит одновременно с действием в главном, оно выражается формой Past Continuous (процесс) или Past Simple (факт).

We knew (that) he spoke good English. – Мы знали, что он хорошо говорит по-английски.

He said (that) he was watching TV. – Он сказал, что смотрит телевизор.

Если действие в придаточном предшествует действию главного предложения, оно выражается формой Past Perfect.

We didn’t know (that) he had left. – Мы не знали, что он уехал.

Если действие в придаточном будет происходить после действия в главном, оно выражается формой Future-in-the-Past (будущее в прошедшем).

We hoped he would pass his examination. – Мы надеялись, что он сдаст экзамен.

Если глагол главного предложения стоит в настоящем времени, то в придаточном глагол может стоять в любой временной форме.

I am not sure that everybody liked our suggestion. – Я не уверен, что всем понравится наше предложение.

I think the time is convenient for you. – Я думаю, что это время удобно для вас.
