In a novel, Mrs Ferrars is dead, but a character says:
-Why on earth should Mrs Ferrars wish to commit suicide?
To refer to a past thing, we use SHOULD HAVE DONE STH; to refer to a dead person, we should use the past tense; so why is the tense: SHOULD MRS FERRARS HAVE WISHED?
-Why on earth should Mrs Ferrars wish to commit suicide?
To refer to a past thing, we use SHOULD HAVE DONE STH; to refer to a dead person, we should use the past tense; so why is the tense: SHOULD MRS FERRARS HAVE WISHED?
