Through the text "Parallelism: a matter of textual style”, you could get to know some aspects related to textuality - such as clarity, precision and objectivity of the speeches we make, whose purpose is only to make the interlocution plausibly define and the discursive purpose to be materialized in a way significant.
Well, among this set of aspects that, once implemented, corroborate for textuality is the so-called verbal correlation. It is characterized by the harmonious relationship that needs to exist between verbal forms, in order to make utterances more precise, more intelligible. Thus, with a view to making our knowledge about this occurrence effective, let's see how it takes place:
* Present in indicative mode + past perfect composed in subjunctive mode:
I believe she told him everything.
* Imperfect tense of indicative mode + more-than-perfect composed of subjunctive mode:
I wish she had told him everything.
* Future of the subjunctive + future of the present indicative:
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
If you tell him everything I'll be relieved.
* Future of the subjunctive + future of the present composed of the indicative:
When you tell him everything, I'll be relieved.
* Present in indicative mode + present in subjunctive mode:
I want you to tell him everything.
* Future of the subjunctive + future of the present indicative:
When you tell him everything, I'll feel relieved.
* Past tense more-than-perfect composed of the subjunctive + future tense composed of the indicative:
If you had told him everything, I would have been relieved.
* Past tense perfect tense + past tense imperfect subjunctive:
I asked her to tell him everything.
* Imperfect subjunctive past tense + tense past tense future:
If you told him everything, I would be relieved.
