Which way is correct?

Question

As we guessed or As we have guessed?

Philip · Accepted Answer

Either could be correct, depending on context.

CalifJim · Answer

Both. You have given no context.
____________________________

You have basically asked,

"Which is correct? dog or cat?"

without saying whether the context is similar to 1 or 2 below:

1. A lion is like a ____ .
2. A wolf is like a ____ .

You may wish to ask again with more explanation of how you foresee this guessing expression used in a real-life situation. It could be that you'll need any one of the following:

As we guessed / As we had guessed / As we may well have guessed / As we would have guessed / As we have guessed / As we should have guessed

It's impossible to say with nothing to go on.
