dtommy79 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think they should be like this:I have been told he will go to the pool.I had been told he would go to the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleocasas Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I would be more inclined to say:1-He told me he would go tot he pool (you don't need 'has,' because the indefinite past is already implied by 'told') alternate example: I was sick, so he BROUGHT me flowers last week 2-He had told me he would go to school (This is correct, but unlike sentence one, the use of the word 'had' implies a more specific instance in which he told you where he was going) alternate example: He HAD BROUGHT me flowers when I was sick.
