Есть ли какое-нибудь rule of thumb, чтобы определить, когда какое время использовать в таких придаточных?
1. "She was convicted for a murder that she did not commit."
2. "The boy who had thrown a stone at the dog was punished by his father."
Согласно определению Swan'а:
"...she did not commit." это, очевидно, earlier past относительно "was convicted", так почему же оно не в past perfect?We use the past perfect when we are already talking about the past, and want to talk about
an earlier past time.
