William : Since you are not going to football, I don't expect to see you there today. b) Andy: I said that I WAS not going to play football YESTERDAY. Mitchel : I know, I HEARD you. William : You said that you WERE not going to play football yesterday so I DIDN'T expect to see you there. Any problem with tenses now?? temico Joined on Thu, Apr 21 2005 Full Member 274 Tenses, Football
