Good morning, FZ.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the sequence of tenses. Could you provide an example and I will try to help?

Hello, Marianne. Examples in English: 1) I told you I was coming. 2) I told you I would come. 3) I told you I had come. 4) I told you I had been running. Thank you for your assistance. - 00494ed7, Aug 2, 2010
