He smiled as he poured. “As to Grand Maester Pycelle... if my sweet sister is so concerned for him, I would have thought she’d come herself. Instead she sends you. What am I to make of that?”
Hi, dear teachers. I have some questions about this sentence. Can I change it into the following versions?
Original: I would have thought she would come herself.
1. I thought she would come herself.
2. I had thought she would come herself.
3. I would have thought she would have come herself.
4. I would have thought she comes herself.
Thank you.
1, 2, and 3 are OK. 4 is not good. CJ
