Would want to

Hi

Can I say:

She said she wouldn't want to reconsider.

Cheers

Hi, Yes, but you need a context in which it makes sense to say this, particularly with the use of 'wouldn't' instead of 'didn't'. Clive

It is reported speech from the sentence:

She says: I won't want to...

So I persume it's correct.

Thanks!

In that case, it is correct, Julius: 'would' as the past of 'will'.
