As the Hebrew language knows only one past tense, it is used in the sequence of tenses as well as in the subordinate clause:

After I had washed the dishes, I went to sleep.	.אחרי ששטפתי את הכלים, הלכתי לישון
	achare she-shatafti et ha-kelim, halachti lishon

reported speech: There are no set rules. Unusual: in simultaneity of past tense the subordinate clause appears in present tense:

He said, that he wanted to go on holiday.	.הוא אמר שהוא רוצה לנסוע לחופשה
(= He said, that he wants to go on holiday.)	hu amar, she-hu rotze linso’a le-chufshah
