I came across the scenario below while watching a movie. A guy was eating something, it fell out of his mouth and left a stain on his t-shirt. A girl who was sitting opposite to him, got angry with him because the same thing had happened to him several times before, and she had told him how he should eat to prevent such a thing from happening. She gave him an angry look, and he said to her:
Yeah, yeah, I know... You'd think I'd learn by now...
I would've expected "I would've learned" there instead of "I'd learn" because "by now" triggers the perfect aspect in my mind. What do you think?
