that之後.....駛唔駛or幾時先要轉tense??.......

我想問一句句子,
e.g.1:I realize that I have done it wrongly.
咁that之後ge句子係唔係要轉tense架??
即係以 e.g.1 o個句駛唔駛轉做....
I realize that I had done it wrongly.呢??

我知道reported speech(e.g.2)that之後ge野要轉tense~~
e.g.2:"I have done it wrongly!" Alex exclaimed.---轉reported speech要轉做...
Alex exclaimed that he had done it wrongly.

但係[唔係]reported speech駛唔駛轉呢??(好似e.g.1咁~~~)
我以前識架~~不過之前exam要溫reported speech,搞到個concept亂左...
我知道條問題可能好低B...但係希望各位英文高手解答我ge問題......
萬分感激!!!!

✔ 最佳答案

The rule of thumb is that the main clause and the subordinate clause should be consistent.

1: I realize that I have done it wrongly.
2: I realize that I had done it wrongly.*
3: Alex exclaimed that he had done it wrongly.

E.g. 1 and 3 are acceptable while e.g. 2 is not.
