0 I would say "they thought it 01b00was02b00 wrong" (or "they thought it wrong") for the first one. The other two I would say the same as Grodada. 0-

0Hi,02br
02br
00Strictly speaking, 01font00work 00and00 to keep02font00 are not tenses. They are base/infinitive forms.02br
02br
00If you choose 01font00to be02font00 rather than 'was' for the first choice, 'to be' is also not a tense.02br
