Hi,

1. If you had met her yesterday, you would have seen how thin she was.

could anybody correct this sentence for me.

'you would seen' is not a valid tense at all.

What I have corrected it to is the Modal Perfect. Here, it describes a past possibility that did not happen.

2.Did you hear her laugh just now.
