The verb tense in the main clause governs the subjunctive tense used in the secondary clause. Your first sentence is correct, because a past tense is used in both the primary and secondary clauses.
Your second sentences uses the present tense in the main clause, so you must use the present subjunctive form of 'ir' in the secondary clause. |
