people in valley town said they hope the police would catch the murderer.

从句用什么时态要看它的上级句子,这里的will因为它的上级句子hope没有加d,为现在时,所以要用一般将来时就可以了,希望我能帮助你解疑释惑.能讲一下关于 变间接引语时是 一般现在时的情况不……？一般来说，当上级句子时态为一般现在时，现在完成时或将来时时，时态不变。He says he is tired.He has told me he is tired.He will tell you he is tired.表述客观真理时，时态也不改变，用一般现在时。如：He said water freezes at thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit.Our teacher told us that the earth turns around the sun.其它情况下上级句子为一般过去式时，时态就会改变。He said he was tired.希望我能帮助你解疑释惑。
