如果主句里的谓语动词是过去时态,那么从句的谓语动词时态也相应地要用过去时。时态的呼应主要发生在间接引语和宾语从句中,但其他从句有时也存在时态一致的问题。
--He explained that he had learned Chinese for many years.
--He said he had been collecting materials on that subject for a long time.
--He told me that they would have completed that project by the end of the year.
虽然主句用了过去时等,如果从句表示的是科学真理、客观事实或某人的经常性特点时,其时态可以不必遵守时态呼应的规则而仍用一般现在时。
--Galileo proved that the earth revolves round the sun.
--The teacher told the students that knowledge is power.
如果从句中有一个表示绝对过去时间的状语,就不必把一般过去时变为过去完成时。
--He said that he joined the Red Army in 1933.
