The tenses look OK but the sentence is wrong. Consider saying: The fact that he gave me a false name shows that he was doing something wrong. or He gave me a false name which shows that he was doing something wrong.

Gi is correct, except for needing a comma before "which". Your sentence (the verb "shows") doesn �t have a subject.
