      • 1988, Andrew Radford, Transformational grammar: a first course Chapter 6, It is, of course, important to draw a fundamental distinction here between Tense (a morphosyntactic property) and Time Reference (a semantic property). So, for example, in (60) below:
        (60)      If I went there tomorrow, would you come with me?
        went is morphologically a past-tense form, and yet is used in a future timeframe.
