Sequence of tenses
Согласование времен
В сложных предложениях часто используется согласование времён. Если в главном предложении глагол стоит в настоящем или будущем времени, то в придаточном предложении может употребляться любое время.
She says she likes strawberry. - Она говорит, она любит клубнику.
I know that you live alone. - Я знаю, что ты живёшь один.
Если в главном предложении глагол стоит в одном из прошедших времён, то в придаточном используется также глагол в прошедшем времени или будущее в прошедшем.
I thought you were his friend. - Я думал, что ты его друг.
She said she would try to find the right decision. - Она сказала, что постарается найти правильное решение.
