The following comes from a test done a few days ago.
We were on vacation at my parents' place in Phoenix, glad to be away from the bitter Edmonton winter. Our two boys, in their early teens, were demanding of everyone's time and attention. When it was suggested we (A)[go / went] to the shopping mall, everybody but my wife was enthusiastic. She begged off, insisting she (B)[want / wanted] to get some baking done that afternoon. We found out later, in the absence of any new cookies or cakes, that (C)[what / when] she had meant was indeed "baking" alone in the 80 degree sunshine.
(A) (B) (C)
① go want what
② go want when
③ go wanted what
④ went want when
⑤ went wanted what
It says The answer is ③.
But I think it's only right in American English.
But one grammar book, Advanced English Practice, says 'went' is possible in this case.
According to the BOOK,
❶ 'Should' is often used in a 'that' clause, after verbs like suggest, recommend, require, decide, ect.:
❷ 'Should' is sometimes omitted.
❸ The verb from is then sometimes 'regularized' to give the 'normal' sequence of tenses:
I suggested (that) he took legal advice.
So, I think in "When it was suggested we (A)[go / went] to the shopping mall" 'went' is also possible instead of 'go.' So ⑤ is also a correct answer.
Am I right?
(I also have another example of past tense in that clause.
