    Yes, but it would be better to make full sentences out lf those thoughts. that way it would be easier to tell if they were grammatical. Examples:
    I thought that was you.

    I thought it was a good idea at the time.

    I have thought it throught and come to a decision.

    I have thought that thought many times before.
