Question

--- The train is leaving right now, but David hasn't arrived yet.

--- Well, he said he ________ here on time.

[　　]

A．came

B．will be

C．would come

D．can be

Answer 1

答案：C
解析：

解析：答语是含有宾语从句的复合句，主句为一般过去时态，所以从句用过去将来时态。故选C。

提示：

启示：含有宾语从句的复合句，主句为一般过去时态，从句要用过去的时态。变化规律：一般现在时态改为一般过去时态，一般将来时态改为过去将来时态，现在进行时态改为过去进行时态，现在完成时态改为过去完成时态。如果从句内容是客观真理，仍然用原来的时态。如： Our science teacher said that the earth goes around the sun.。
