0Are you trying to understand the past conditional? I know It can be confusing sometimes. But I also don't think that the sentences you made above will help you to understand it. Maybe if you try to write a passage that has a scenario, it would be better to convey your intended meaning.
Anyway, read about past conditional and look at the examples to know when to use it.
0Most of the time you echo all the verbs except the last one in a verb phrase.
With that in mind, sentence 2 is the best.
Verb phrase: 'should have been'. The echo version: 'should have'.
It might not work in every case, but it should work most of the time.
