【典型例题】
1.Li Ming said he _____happy if Brian_____to China next month.
A. was; come B. was; would come
C. would be; came D. will be; come
解析：答案C。主将从现的情况放在主句是一般过去的句子中，时态前推即可。第一空为过去将来时，第二空为一般过去时。
2. Jenny said she _____her holiday in China.
A. spent B. would spent
C. was going to spent D. would spend
解析：答案D。此题难点在于无时间状语，B和C中spent形式错误；比较A和D选项，D项最佳。 “詹尼说她即将在中国度假。”
3. I hoped Tina ______ to my birthday party on time the next Wednesday.
A. to come B. is coming C. will come D. was coming
解析：答案为D。本题主句是一般过去时，并且根据时间状语the next Wednesday, 应用过去将来时；D项为过去进行，可表过去将来，故选之，
4. She ______ to work when the telephone rang.
A. is going B. will go
C. was about to go D. is to go
解析：be about to do … when…,为固定搭配，表示“当某人即将做某事时某事发生了”。此题中表示“她正要去上班时电话铃响了”。正确答案为C。
