[emilii]

Could you help me ?I don't know what is correct
Did he steal money ?turn into indirect questions:

I doubted if he stole money .

or
I doubted if he had stolen money .
*************
and when I must change tenses peaceably from sequence o tenses?

 

[Allen165]

I think both of these sentences can be correct:
I doubted he stole money.
I doubted he had stolen money.

Which one is correct depends on the context, which you have not provided.

Not a teacher.

 

[Allen165]

I wondered who did it/had done it (depends on the context).
He wanted to know where you have been/had been (depends on the context).
I doubt she will be on time.
Do you know how long he has been working here?
I want to know if you are moving.

Not a teacher.

The standard construction is 'doubt that...' (not 'if').

As another user has pointed out, both are possible. If your intended reference is to a (possibly) regularly occurring action (contemporaneous with the time of the doubting), then you will say

I doubted that he stole money.
(i.e. ever, at any time)

If, on the other hand, it is to a prior possible event, then you will say

I doubted that he had stolen money.
(i.e. at the particular past time in question)

Note, however, that informal usage (esp. AmE) will often accept the first sentence as having the meaning of the second, provided that context serves to specify the chronology of the events.
