THE SEQUENCE OF TENSES

Правило согласования времен в английском языке представляет определенную зависимость времени глагола в придаточном предложении (главным образом дополнительном) от времени глагола в главном предложении. В русском языке такой зависимости не существует.

Основные положения согласования времен сводятся к следующему:

1. Если сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в настоящем или будущем времени, то сказуемое придаточного предложения может стоять в любом времени, которое требуется по смыслу:

	he studies English.		что изучает английский.
He says	he will study English.	Он говорит,	что будет изучать английский.
	he studied English.		что изучал английский.

2. Если сказуемое главного предложения стоит в прошедшем времени, что сказуемое придаточного предложения должно стоять в одном из прошедших времен. Выбор конкретной видовременной формы определяется тем, происходит ли действие в придаточном предложении одновременно с главным, предшествует ему либо будет происходить в будущем:

I knew (that) He said	Simultaneous Action	Prior Action	Future Action
- he lived in Kiev он живет в Киеве - they were waiting for us они ждут нас -hehad been living in Kiev since 1946 он живет в Киеве с 1946 года - he had known her for two years он знает ее 2 года	- he had already left Moscow он уже уехал из Москвы - It had been raining as it was wet шел дождь, так как на улице мокро - she had been ill for two weeks она болела две недели	- they would arrive on Sunday они приедут в воскресенье -theywould be working at 6 в 6 они будут работать -hewould have translated the article by Monday он уже переведет эту статью к понедельнику
