Meaning and sentence structure of “Why would we have thought otherwise?” thanks for your answer. So it is a question in conditional perfect form without explicitly specifying the if-clause, right? Is it grammatically correct to not specify the if-clause in these sentences? |

Meaning and sentence structure of “Why would we have thought otherwise?” @Nile - is "why did we think otherwise" grammatically correct? Since "did" is in the past tense I used "thought" (past tense of think). |

the narrator keep trying vs. the narrator keeps @Kris- I quite didn't get your comment. Wouldn't it be still "keeps" even if the editor is to convey that the present tense is to be substituted for the past? |

the narrator keep trying vs. the narrator keeps the word 'keep' was used in the sentence where I read, so I posted this to get clarification. Post your comment as an answer, and I will accept it. (Ref: ccc.commnet.edu/sensen/part1/two/writing.html) |
