I know she weren't!

Another question, please!

I looks as though she had been to France!
I know she hasn't / weren't?

Your sentence is wrong. My suggestion: It seems /appears as though she has been to France but I know she hasn't. CB

Well, this is what is written in my grammarbook, actually!
It looks as if smb did(relation to the present)/had done(relation to the past). So, I guess the first sentence is correct.

My question was if the second sentence is correct.

No, it is not.

It looks like she has been to France.
I know she has not been to France.
I know she hasn't.

She said she was in France.
I know she was not in France.
I know she wasn't.

She weren't is not used in simple declarative sentences.

Yet how should one react to the sentence?
It looks as if she had been to France!
I know she hadn't/ hasn't?
