They are all fine vil.

Tom hopes his crib will not be taken notice of.
Tom hoped his crib would not be taken notice of.

'to not take notice of' means a conscious, deliberate act of disregarding what one sees or knows. So -"Take no notice of how untidy the room is - we had a party last night and I haven't had a chance to tidy up."

Is that what you mean?
Or is it:
Tom hopes his crib will not be noticed/detected.
Tom hoped his crib would not be noticed/detected.

Before dividing his kingdom among his daughter, King Lear is much pleased with Goneril and Tegan and is sure that they will take tender care of him to the end of his days.

You refer to an action that occurred prior to/before 'dividing the kingdom' - (that of being much pleased) - yet put it in the Present tense: "Lear is much pleased."
With 'before', only the Past tense version of the two sentences is correct.

In English, it's 'Duncan'

Hi David L,

Thank you for your reply as well as for your proper notes and amendments.

I support the latter interpretation of my original expression “not be taken notice of”, namely “not be noticed”.

Thank you again for your backing.
