    Second.  When you reed what you red.  Red is past tense.    You could also say when you red what you reed.  Awkward but could be grammatically correct.

    Accordion to most studies, you didn't notice that I replaced the first word with a musical instrument.

  • Second.  Sounds funny to me making the first past tense.

  • "When you read what you read"

    Neither use of read is past tense.
