    Supports→Indices for evaluating temporal expressions must take the form of a pair ⟨u, e⟩, where u is the time of utterance and e is the time of evaluation

    The word 'now' must always refer back to the original time of utterance even when 'now' lies in the scope of other temporal operators such as F

    To evaluate (3)\('\) correctly so that it matches what we mean by (3), we must make sure that ‘now’ always refers back to the original time of utterance when ‘now’ lies in the scope of other temporal operators such as F. Therefore we need to keep track of which time is the time of utterance \((u)\) as well as which time is the time of evaluation \((t)\). So our indices take the form of a pair \(\langle u, e\rangle\), where \(u\) is the time of utterance, and \(e\) is the time of evaluation. Then
