Narratiing a past event; now=then?
Today, we implement the rule. We can now communicate directly with the operations department.
1. Could you please suggest how to narrate the sentences above as a past event, which happened a week ago? My guess is as follows, but I'm not sure if it's correct.
A week ago, we implemented the rule. We could then communicate directly with the operations department.
2. Do you think "then" above would mean the past narration of "now" in my original sentences?
3. Or do you think "then" would only mean "in that case"?
4. Is it also correct to say the following as a narration of my original sentences?
A week ago, we implemented the rule. We could therefore communicate directly with the operations department since that time.
I would really appreciate your kind assistance.
