Welcome to the forum. As you can see from SoothingDave's examples, it is not necessary for all the verbs to use the past tense when talking about the past. Please remember to start your sentences with a capital letter.

He said that he will be there. They knew that they were going to be famous.

Can we say "He said that he would be there."?

Thanks.

If you remove the full stop after "there", yes.
