from my textbook- example 20 in "exercises for chapter 25"
heri audivit (A) eos venire (heri); (B) eos venisse (e.g. pridie, the day before yesterday); (C) eos venturos (paucis diebus).
Yesterday he heared; (A) they were coming (yesterday); (B) that they had come (e.g. the day before yesterday); (C) that they would come (in a few days).

1-With a perfect tense main verb, is it possible to have present tense for the infinitive? i.e.; with a perfect tense main verb, the time after the perfect tense is the present tense, but in the example above (taken out of my textbook), the tense after the perfect is future, would come.
2- (pacifica)- i do recognize "future in the past"; with a perfect main verb, the future infinitive is translated would come, instead of will come.
3-With an indirect statement and a perfect main verb, what infinitive do you use to express the present tense? I am guessing it is a modification of the future infinitive?
