TENSES IN ENGLISH 190

 The sequences of tenses:

Zaman uyumu İngilizce‟de üzerinde önemle durulması gereken konulardan biridir. Karışık
cümlelerde ana cümle (main clause)‟de kullanacağımız tense ile yan cümle (subordinate
clause)‟de kullanacağımız tense arasında zaman uyumu olması gerekir. Bu yüzden aşağıda
vereceğimiz tabloya dikkat etmeniz gerekir:

Present She thinks that it will snow. Future
Past She thought that it would snow. Conditional
Present She knows that she has made a mistake. Present perfect
Past She knew that she had made a mistake. Past perfect
Present She believes that she is innocent. Present
Past She believed that she was innocent. Past
Present perfect She has done all that is necessary. Present
Past perfect She had done all that was necessary. Past
Present She says that she is going to sleep. Pres. cont.
Past She said that she was going to sleep. Past. cont.

Zaman uyumunu gerektiren diğer cümleler de bağlaçların bulunduğu cümlelerdir. Bunun için
Conjunctions konusuna bakmanızda fayda vardır.
