Tomorrow he will have designed an airplane that flew at 200 knots.02br 02br 005. He created a ball that falls fast and bounces high.02br 006. He created a ball that fell fast and bounced high.02br 02br 004 seems wrong, but the others sound reasonable to me. My interpretation is a sentence like 1 or 5 indicates that the secondary fact may still be true while the structure in 2 and 6 indicates it is likely not true anymore.0-
