EverestCTSI just have a quick question. I was wondering if would of probability can be used in negative.

Yes. The affirmative and the negative work the same way.

Then he wouldn’t have looked for a job right away.

EverestCTSIs the use of “wouldn’t have” correct?

Yes.

Good morning CJ. Does would of probability work in questions too? With the same context, can I ask the following questions with would of probability?

Dan: Where do you think Jeff went after getting out of prison in 2010? Would he have gone back home? Would he have looked for a job right away? Would he be around the same place that he used to live right now? Would he have a house and a family? Would he be having a good time with his family?

Jack: I think so.

Also, is Jack’s response “I think so” a correct response?
