THE FUTURE-IN-THE-PAST TENSE
The English language has a special form of the future, the Future-in-the-Past, to express a future action viewed from a past moment (sequence of tenses). If the verb in the principal clause is in one of the past tenses, a past tense (or Future-in-the-Past) must be used in the subordinate clause. If the action expressed in the principal clause is posterior to that of the principal clause the Future-in-the-Past is used.
THE FUTURE-INDEFINITE-IN-THE-PAST
I. The formation of the Future-Indefinite-in-the-Past
The Future-Indefinite-in-the-Past is formed by means of the auxiliary verbs should and would and the infinitive without to of the notional verb.
Should is used for the first person singular and plural.
Would is used for the second and the third person singular and plural.
In the interrogative form the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject.
In the negative form the negative particle not is placed after the auxiliary verb.
