Problems with tenses

Hello.

I'm totally tangled up with sentences like these: "I heard you like that" Can we use this? Or I'd better say "I heard you liked that"? (If I'm talking about the present, not a past) And if I talk about the past I may say "I heard you had liked that" or how should i say it?

And the question # 2: How would I say if I want to notice I heard a person that was talking about something yesterday "I heard you talk yesterday" or "I heard you talked yesterday"?

Thanks a lot!

- Yes. And if I talk about the past I may say "I heard you had liked that"-- No, not unless you need to make it clear that 'you' no longer like that now. - I heard you liked that.
