  • Дело в том, что Future in the Past может быть разным.
    Это и Futute Indefinite in the Past, Future Continious in the Past, Future Perfect in the Past and Future Perfect Continious in the Past. То есть этих Future in the Past может быть 4 формы.

    А вот какая из них где---надо смотреть на структуру конкретного предложения.

    Если взять первое. например, то мы скажем I was afraid they would exclude me from the club.
    Если взять восьмое предложение, то в нем будет уже другая форма из-за at that time, то есть мы скажем We knew he would be walking at that time.
    А если взять последнее предложение, то в нем будет еще другая форма из-за for 16 hours by the time, то есть мы скажем уже We knew she would have been working for 16 hours by the time we came home.

    Вся фишка в том, чтобы видеть и уметь находить вот такие маркеры, которые и подскажут нам употребление правильных времен.
