| 1456634 | 2018-12-26 09:48:00 | Thank you. If I were to say it as if I am recounting an event that took place yesterday, "At 11am yesterday, I said I was in Auckland doing a bit of shopping" would be correct. From the point of view of grammar rules (theory), the second variant is indeed a correct one, because the Past Simple should be chosen due to the sequence of tenses rule. How about this: "While out shopping yesterday, I had an ice cream from Baskin Robbins; you know, the one where it was featured in an advertisement with a famous rugby star" vs "While out shopping yesterday, I had an ice cream from Baskin Robbins; you know, the one where it is featured in an advertisement with a famous rugby star" As for these - I agree with CliveM, it depends on the context and logic (yourhomeworkhelp.org) - was may also imply that the ad doesn't exist anymore. |
