Grammar
Would have
Are these both correct:
1-I would have liked you to meet him yesterday. But today I think you better not meet.
2-I would have liked you to have met him yesterday. But today I think you better not meet.
Does "yesterday" modify "would have liked" or "to meet/to have met"?
Gratefully,
Navi.
