^ THE SEQUENCE OF TENSES
1. GENERAL RULES
The rule states: 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. The action expressed in the
subordinate clause can be simultaneous with the action expressed in the principal clause,
prior or posterior to that of the principal clause. Study how the Rule of the Sequence of
Tenses is observed in such clauses.
