2.Действие придаточного предложения предшествует действию главного предложения: в подобных случаях в придаточном предложении употребляется Past Perfect (предшествование).

I knew (that) Jack had not visited Russia before.

3.Действие придаточного предложения относится к будущему времени, а действие главного предложения к прошедшему; при наличии подобной ситуации в придаточном предложении употребляется так называемое будущее в прошедшем Future-in-the Past (следование).

I knew (that) Bill would come to see me after 9 o’clock p.M.

Следует иметь в виду, что модальные глаголы can и may в прошедшем времени имеют формы: could, might. Формы прошедшего времени названных модальных глаголов следует употреблять в составе сказуемого придаточного предложения, если глагол главного предложения также стоит в прошедшем времени.

He said (that) he could not promise to come to the party.

Правила согласования времен соблюдаются в придаточных дополнительных предложениях, в том числе и в косвенной речи. В определительных, сравнительных, причинных и других придаточных предложениях они не действуют.
