(b): I'm including Reichenbach's [Reichenbach47] explanation or formulation of tenses in terms of three times -- Spoken, Reference, and Event:
Table

Time	Meaning
S	When the statement is Spoken
R	The time the speaker is Refering to
E	The time of the Event.
E1	The start of extended event E.
E2	The end of extended event E.
=	The two times are equal
<	first time is before the second time.


(Close Table)
So for example: R=E<S indicates that the Speaker(S) is Referring(R) to a time in the past when the Event(E) occurred, [ PAST TENSE ] below.


(a): I am following modern American conversational usage that doesn't use shall.
