"I thought the cloth is beautiful."
Does it mean that I don't think the cloth is beautiful now?

@moj5683 No. This is a little tricky.

First, you need to use "was," not "is" because "thought" is in the past.

"Yesterday I thought the cloth was beautiful" means you may have changed your mind. But it is better to be clearer.

So you could say "Yesterday, I thought the cloth was beautiful. But today I think it is ugly." Then it is clear what you mean.

You could also say, "Yesterday, I thought the cloth was beautiful. Today, I think it is the most beautiful cloth I have ever seen!"
