Hi guys,

Please check this sentence "Tom's wife tells him that their kid would rather live with her instead of him" is it a correct sentence(if not please tell me the correct formation) if it is than what would be the past of this sentence?

You are still making no effort to write in correctly punctuated sentences. Until you do, I for one will make no effort to answer your questions.

Is it a correct sentence? (If not, please tell me the correct formation. If it is, than what would be the past of this sentence?)

Probably you mean his ex-wife.
Would rather live with her than him.
Wants to live with her instead of him.

So for the past we just have to replace "Tells" with "Told" and rest of the sentence will remain the same.
