20 The sequence of tenses
217 Subordinate clauses
A sentence can contain a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. A subordinate clause is a group of words containing a subject and verb and forming part of a sentence:
We knew that the bridge was unsafe.
He gave it to me because he trusted me.
He ran faster than we did.
This is the picture that I bought in Rome. (In the examples above and in 218 the subordinate clauses are in bold type.)
For other examples see under conditional sentences, relative pronouns and clauses of purpose, comparison, time, result and concession. It is not necessary for the student to make a detailed study of clauses or even to be able to recognize the different kinds of clause, but it is necessary for him to learn to know which is the main verb of a sentence because of the important rule given below.
218 The sequence of tenses
When the main verb of a sentence is in a past tense, verbs in subordinate clauses are normally in a past tense also. See the starred sentences below.
Tense of |
|
Tense of verb |
verb in |
|
in subordinate |
main clause |
|
clause |
Present |
He thinks that it will rain. |
Future simple |
Past |
He thought that it would rain.* |
Conditional |
Present |
He sees that he has made a mistake. |
Pres. perf. |
Past |
He saw that he had made a mistake.* |
Past perf. |
Present |
I work so hard that I am always tired. |
Present |
Past |
I worked so hard that I was always tired.* |
Past |
Pres. perf. |
He has done all that is necessary. |
Present |
Past perf. |
He had done all that was necessary. * |
Past |
Present |
He says that he is going to eat it. |
Pres. continuous |
Past |
He said that he was going to eat it.* |
Past continuous |
Note that infinitive and gerunds are not affected by the above rule: He wants to go to Lyons. He wanted to go to Lyons. He likes riding. He liked riding.
The rule about sequence of tenses applies also to indirect speech when the introductory verb is in a past tense. (See chapter 31.)
21 The conditional
The conditional tenses
219 The present conditional tense
A This is formed with would/should + infinitive for the first person and would + infinitive for the other persons.
Affirmative |
/ would/I'd work or / should work |
|
you would/you'd work etc. |
Negative |
/ would not/wouldn 't work or |
|
/ should not/shouldn 't work |
|
you would not/wouldn't work etc. |
Interrogative |
would/should I work? |
|
would you work? etc. |
Negative interrogative |
should I not/shouldn 't I work? |
|
would you not/wouldn't you work? etc. |
В It is used:
(a) In conditional sentences (see 221-9).
(b) In special uses of would and should (see chapter 22).
(c) As a past equivalent of the future simple, would/should must be used instead of will/shall when the main verb of the sentence is in tht past tense:
/ hope (that) I will/shall succeed. I hoped (that) I would/should succeed. I know (that) he will be in time.. I knew (that) he would be in time. He thinks (that) they will give him a visa. He thought (that) they would give him a visa. I expect (that) the plane will be diverted. I expected (that) the plane would be diverted. (For will/shall, would/should in indirect speech, see chapter 31.)
