sequence of tenses

  • The dependence of the tense of a subordinate verb on the tense of the verb in the main clause (e.g. I think that you are wrong; I thought that you were wrong).

    〔语法〕时态的呼应

    Example sentencesExamples
    • You missed out on the sequence of tenses here, since a future can't be a secondary tense when the main verb is perfect.
    • The past tense does nothing but continue the sequence of tenses, and so the unfolding of events.
    • The theme of repetition recurs, but this time it is the repetition of the sequence of tenses throughout the text.
    • One might argue that Strabo's loose grammar allows us to ignore a strict translation of the sequence of tenses and consider alternatives.
