Hi all,
1)He gave me a pen. His name is Jack.
2)He is the tallest boy in the class.
3)The boy who gave me a pen was called Jack.
4)The boy who gave me a pen was the tallest boy in the class.
I have used ‘was’ instead of ‘is’ after the relative clause.
Does 3 suggest 1 and
4 suggest 2?
Regards

No. Use the correct tenses for rewritten
sentences or rewrite them using whose.
Thanks for your time and help.
Thanks very much Bookaholic_English
No prob. Why not try rewriting them now?
I understand very well.
‘was’ suggests ‘at the time of giving’.
It doesn’t change the name of Jack and also still he is the tallest boy.
Thank you
