Hello, anon.

I need help with english.

"I always knew he was very polite"

1. Does it means, that "I" knew it and know right now too?
2. "Was very polite" it was in past? Now it is not true (because, I think, here should to be "I always knew he is very polite")? Or now he is polite too?

How to detect time in the sentence?
>>
>>69283483
To me, it means
> recent events have proven my suspicion that he is very polite
>>
*BRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPP*
>>
>>69283524
Thank you.
So the soul of the sentence is, that I in past and right now (always) knew and know, that he was in past and is right now very polite.

Is it true minds?
>>
>>69283483
1: Yes
2:
Knew is the past tense of Know
Was is the past tense of Is

If the subjects are in past tense it stays consistent in the sentence
>>
>>69283483
>1.
Yes
>2.
The word "always" implies that it is true for past and present

Those thighs look literally perfect.
There are few things in the world better than a nice set of thighs on a girl
>>
>>69283574
Yes
>>
>>69283574
Yes. English has a tendency to use "was" in the present tense sometimes.

'ooppss teehee ;), sorry anon'

>>69283627
Thank you so much for the info.
>>
>>69283574
That's it. I'm not sure how literally it translates, but "I always knew X was Y" has connotations of "recent events have proven my suspicion".

Like when you find out your friend is really good at art you might say, while talking to another mutual friend
> I always knew he was creative

You suspected he was creative, then when you saw his paintings that proved it.

But i have not got any more, sorry.

Homework, or just self learning english?

English is usually considered to have 12 tenses, but they are often redundant. I think your sentence is past progressive, so that it doesn't include the now.

If you want to include the current time

I have always known he was polite

>>69283847
Oh.
