I'm interested in learning if other languages have a rule to check
if there's concordance of tense among verbs with sentences. Any
input or suggestion?
I don't think that "concordance of tense" can produce useful rules. I
have taken a look at the GR_10_001 rules group ("concordanza tempi
delle coordinate"), and my impression is that it will generate
unfailingly a lot of false alarms.
Yet I plan to write rules in Catalan to check some wrong combinations
of tenses in dependent clauses.

I am developing the feeling we sourly miss a robust disambiguation set
of rules for Italian.
I took a look to Your Catalan rules and I must say I understand only a
tiny fraction of what is there.
Almost all false positives come from misinterpreting some word.
In most cases they are flected verbs clashing with nouns or other POS,
but there are also a fair number of articles clashing with pronouns
(e.g.: "gli" is both an ARTicle:m-p and a PROnoun meaning: "to him" or
"to them").
In all clashing cases it's easy to have rules matching "wrong" meaning
and thus rising unwanted alarms.
Unfortunately, not being a linguist, I have only very vague ideas on how
to tackle the problem.
