What tenses can I use after wh words when I use past simple tense ?
After past simple "I didn't know + wh ...", past tenses and past perfect tenses are common, and 'would' instead of 'will'. It's sometimes possible to use a present tense, but you wouldn't normally use a present perfect tense.

And what about past simple tense ?
I did not know when/who
What tenses can I use after wh words when I use past simple tense ?

Re: Verb followed by wh words
Thank you very much ! Do the same rules for present and past apply to verbs followed by that clause or whether/if?
