Which sentence is correct?
Here are 3 sentences. Could you point the correct one?
1 "Did you ever instantly know you were going to like and trust someone for a long, long time?"
2 "Have you ever instantly knew you were going to like..."
3 "Have you ever instantly knew you have been going to like..."
Thats what I've recently read on this forum:
"The difference between "did you go" and "have you gone" is all about whether the asker knows the time that the action wass supposed to have taken place." - it refers to my sentences as well.
I have no idea about "the time of the action" in my case, so it seems I should use present perfect.
Thanks
