Simple rule Verb in the main clause is in –Present tense –Future tense –Present perfect tense then the noun clause can use any of the six verb tenses (=“easy” noun clause)

Harder rule Verb in the main clause in in –Past tense –Past perfect tense then the noun clause (=“reported speech”) can only use –Past tense –Past perfect tense –“Past” modal (“would,” “might,” “could,” etc.)

Harder rule Another way to look at it: –When the main clause has a verb in Past tense Past perfect tense –then the noun clause does not use »Present tense »Present perfect tense »Future tense »“present” modals (“can,” “may,” etc.)
