Согласование времен в языке характерная особенность языка заключается в так называемом  согласовании времён: время глагола придаточного предложения зависит от времени главного предложения.правило согласования времён представляет особую трудность, когда сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в одной из форм прошедшего времени.в этом случае в придаточных предложениях не могут употребляться формы настоящего и будущего времени глаголов, хотя речь идёт о действиях, которые совершаются в настоящем или будут совершаться в будущем.если глагол в главном предложении стоит в одном из прошедших времен, то и глагол придаточного предложения должен стоять в одном из прошедших времен.в таких случаях правило согласования времен допускает три основных варианта: если действие в придаточном предложении происходит одновременно с действием в главном предложении, то нужно использовать  past simple  или  past continuous: they told us, “we  are going  to the library.”они сказали нам : «мы идем в библиотеку».they told us they  were going  to the library.они сказали нам, что идут в библиотеку.если действие в придаточном предложении предшествует действию в главном предложении, то глагол в придаточном используется в  past perfect  или  past perfect continuous: we were told, “it  was raining  a lot.”нам сказали: «было много дождей».we were told that it  had been raining  a lot.нам сказали, что было много дождей.если действие в придаточном предложении следует после действия в главном, то нужно использовать одно из времен  future-in the-past: she said: “i  will try to get  the highest mark on the exam.”она сказала: «я постараюсь заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку».she said she  would try to get  the highest mark on the exam.она сказала, что постарается заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку.
