Explicații - regula observată:

Atunci când verbul din propoziţia principală (She said, he asked etc.) este la un timp trecut, atunci se schimbă şi timpurile verbale din propoziţia sau propoziţiile secundare, ordonându-se cronologic.

• 1. Present Tense Simple devine Past Tense Simple:

She said: "I am sure you are ok." >> She said that she was sure I was ok.

• 2. Present Perfect Simple devine Past Perfect Simple:

She said: "I have waited for you." >> She said she had waited for you.

• 3. Present Tense Continuous devine Past Tense Continuous:

She said: "I am learning." >> She said that she was learning.

• 4. Past Tense Simple devine Past Perfect Simple:

She said: "I was sure you were ok." >> She said that she had been sure I had been ok.

• 5. Future devine Conditional Present:

She said: "I will look for you" >> She said that she would look for me.
