英语中从句的时态问题：一、当主句是一般现在时，从句可以根据需要使用任何一种时态。例如：I think that he likes apples./She says that her mom was ill.二、当主句是一般过去时，从句则要使用过去的某种时态（时态呼应）例如：I thought that he liked apples./She said that her mom had been ill. I started to think Beijing the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is far.这句话中由于主句用了过去时，所以从句也要用过去时，所以是was。
