Quick explain
- • Alles schuift één stap terug: am/is → was, do → did, have → had, will → would, can → could.
- • Ook tijdwoorden veranderen: today → that day, tomorrow → the next day, now → then.
- • Bij vragen gebruik je asked + gewone woordvolgorde; bij yes/no-vragen if of whether.
"I am tired" → He said (that) he was tired
