Grammar

The Sequence of tenses

• The term "sequence of tenses" refers to the choice of the verb tense in the subordinate clause depending on the tense of the verb in the main clause.

• The rule of the sequence of tenses means that the tense in the subordinate clause is determined by the tense in the main clause and should agree with it both logically and grammatically.

• Generally, in complex sentences with all types of subordinate clauses, except the object clause, the sequence of the tenses in the pair "verb in the main clause – verb in the subordinate clause" is logical and based on sense and general rules of the use of tenses.

She goes for a walk in the park when the weather is good.

She went for a walk in the park when the weather was good.

• Note: According to the rules of the use of tenses, the simple present is used instead of the simple future in adverbial clauses of time and condition referring to the future.

He will ask her about it when he sees her tomorrow.

She will visit them tomorrow if she has the time.

• Object clauses are connected to the main clause by the conjunction "that" (which is often omitted) and by other conjunctions, such as where, when, why, how, whether, if.

I think (that) he lives on Rose Street.

• If the verb in the main clause is in the present or in the future, the verb in the object subordinate clause may be in any tense that conveys the meaning correctly according to sense, logic, and general rules of the use of tenses.

I know that John has already left for Chicago.

• If the verb in the main clause is in the past tense, the verb in the object subordinate clause should also be used in one of the past tenses.

I didn't know whether he would agree to do it.

• If a general truth is expressed in the object subordinate clause, the present tense is normally used in the subordinate clause despite the fact that the past tense is used in the main clause.

Newton discovered that the force of gravity pulls all bodies to the Earth.

Galileo proved that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
