Confirmation needed
Good morning,
I know I have got these sentences checked before but I have some questions. Please check these sentences.
A: I called Jake yesterday at 6pm because I thought he would’ve got home and he was home when I called.
B: I called Jake yesterday at 6pm because I thought he would’ve got home by then and he was home when I called.
My question are:
Is sentence A above correct? Does sentence A above have an implied meaning of “by then” without explicitly saying it? Basically, are sentences A and B above the same? Or do I have to explicitly say “by then’ in sentence A even to make the sentence correct?
A: I thought he would’ve figured it out but he hasn’t.
B: I thought he would’ve figured it out by now but he hasn’t.
My questions are:
Is sentence A correct? Does sentence A above have an implied meaning of “by now”? Or do I have to explicitly say “by now” in sentence A? Are sentences A and B the same?
