Textbook explanations of the sequence of tenses with the subjunctive don’t normally give examples of the following:
1. main verb in the present - dependent verb = the imperfect indicative Yo sé que ella estaba cuando llamé. - No creo que ella ____X______ cuando llamé. Yo sé que ella estudiaba cuando llamé. - No creo que ella ___Y_____ cuando llamé. Wouldn’t X be estuviera and Y be estudiara? 2. main verb in the present - dependent verb = pluperfect indicative Yo sé que ella había salido antes que ellos entraran. - No creo que ella ______Z________ antes que ellos entraran. Wouldn’t Z be hubiera salido? 3. main verb in the present - dependent verb = the conditional Yo sé que lo harían. - No creo que lo ____A______ Wouldn’t A be harían? 4. main verb in the past - dependent verb = the conditional Yo sabía que lo harían. - Yo no creía que lo _____B______ Couldn’t B be either harían or hicieran? |
