定語從句的時態是根據事物真實發生的情景決定不受主句影響,因爲定語從句的作用只是在修飾句子中的名詞之類的,和句子本身的時態沒有關係。
定語從句中由於涉及主句和從句，在這裏也會有時態先後的問題，一般來說如果主句動詞是將來時，從句用一般現在時或者一般過去時。
1.從句表現一般現在時的情況
man who is appointed as a school principal will be a better leader.
被任命爲學校校長人將會是一個更好的.領導者。（用is appointed 不用 will be appointed）
e will be a special regulate for somebody who takes part in the competition next week.
對下週參加比賽的人將會有一個特殊的規則。（不用 will take, 而用 takes 一般現在時）
2.從句表示一般過去時的情況
to speak, those books whose covers were printed red would sale on Chrismas eve.
這麼說吧，那些封面被刷成紅色的書將在聖誕前夕出售。（whose引導的定語從句時態爲一般過去時，主句would sale 爲過去將來時）
fashion show which held in these countries would make an important influence.
在這些國家舉辦的時尚秀將會產生重要的影響。
3.但也有主句和從句都是一致時態的情況
on who will go to watch movies next month will have to book tickets in advance.
在下個月要看電影的人將不得不提前訂票。（主句和從句都用的一般將來時）
cooperation which will be build up between two companies will be a significant event in business.
將要在兩個公司直接建立的合作將會是一個商業界的重大事件。（主句和從句都表示將來）
