tense

Hi,

For the sentence: I'd like to have gone skiing.

I'd like is present, have gone is past.

So,

1. I'd have liked to have gone skiing.

I'd have liked is past, have gone is the past of past or is the future of past?

2.He would have liked to have had all the family together in one big reunion before he died. (I don't like to use to have)

Died happened before or after have had?

Died happened before or after would have liked?

Thanks

Quoc

Giving it a second thought, it might have been his life-long dream to have one big family reunion.

It is another kettle of fish, that the sentence was said

(by another person) after he died.

<I'd have liked is past, have gone is the past of past or is the future of past?>

The past of the past.

I'd have liked to have gone skiing (if you'd asked me before you went, but you didn't.)

<(I don't like to use to have)>
