ReplyDeleteI want to know about verb tense combination in clauses.
ReplyDelete1. Whether the progressive tense(present continuous, past continuous, future continuous) appear in Independent clause?
If possible then which all tenses can be used in dependent clause?
2. Whether the perfect progressive tense(present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future perfect continuous) appear in Independent clause?
If possible then which all tenses can be used in dependent clause?
