GilHi,
-Mom, you would be proud of me when I was a child.
"You would have been..." - we have to "slip into" the past here.
-Mom, you used to be proud of me when I was a child. (I know it is OK)
I have been too confused. I don't know if I can use 'would' with the verb 'be' in this situation. Please can you tell me if sentence 1 is OK or not?
It's more of a time problem.
You would have been proud then
You are proud now
You will be proud tomorrw
Thanks.
