Sequence of Tenses (काळाचा सुसंगतता नियम):
•
जेव्हा मुख्य उपवाक्य (Principal clause) हे भूतकाळात (Past Tense) असते, तेव्हा गौण उपवाक्य (Subordinate clause) सुद्धा सामान्यतः भूतकाळातच (Past Tense) असावे लागते.
२.
वाक्याचे विश्लेषण:
•
मुख्य वाक्य: *"She ran..."* (येथे 'ran' हे 'run' चे भूतकाळी रूप आहे).
•
कारण दर्शविणारे गौण वाक्य: *"...because she _ in a hurry."*
•
मुख्य क्रिया भूतकाळात घडल्याने ती घाईत असण्याची स्थितीही भूतकाळातीलच असली पाहिजे.
•
'She' या एकवचनी सर्वनामासाठी भूतकाळी एकवचनी क्रियापद 'was' हेच अचूक ठरते.

Rule of Sequence of Tenses:
•
A past tense in the principal clause is normally followed by a past tense in the subordinate adverbial clause of reason.
2.
Syntactic analysis:
•
Principal Clause: *"She ran..."* (The finite verb 'ran' is in the Simple Past Tense).
•
Subordinate Clause of Reason: *"...because she _ in a hurry."*
•
The state of being in a hurry occurred concurrently with the running in the past.
•
Third-person singular feminine pronoun 'she' in the past tense requires 'was'.
