Explicații:

Observăm că în a doua propoziție, timpul verbal s-a modificat, Past Tense devenind Past Perfect. Acest lucru se datorează anteriorității acțiunii din a doua propoziție (propoziția subordonată cauzală) față de acțiunea din regentă.

Alex played computer games. - Past Tense

Alex a jucat jocuri pe calculator.

His parents bought him a computer. - Past Tense

Părinții i-au cumpărat un calculator.

Logica acțiunilor: întâi părinții i-au cumpărat lui Alex un calculator, iar apoi el s-a jucat pe el. De aceea, fraza suferă modificări:

Alex played computer games because his parents had bought him a computer .
