Are my sentences grammatically correct (even if there is no other pre-condition and no sentence precedes them) :

Structure: Would be + Verb in the past participle (Passive Sentence)

Example:

  1. Obama would be sent.
  2. We would be given the guitar.

Structure: Would have + No Verb
Example:
3. I would have a pen.
4. Rahul would have a book.
5. We would not have any money.

Structure: Would have + Verb in past participle

Example:
6. I would have come home.
7. He would have left for Delhi.
 
They are all grammatically possible. It is impossible to say whether they are 'correct' without more context/co-text.

Again, Ayon Khan, please note that I have changed your thread title.

Thanks for your reply.
Are these sentences grammatically correct, and can they stand alone as a sentence?


1. I didn’t watch you play, otherwise, I would have been your fan.

2. I would have been playing since morning.

3. She would have been reading for two hours.

4. I would have been sent.

5. We would have been given water.
 
The first is OK apart from the punctuation.
The others, like your original sentences are all grammatically possible. It is impossible to say whether they are 'correct' without more context/co-text.
 
can they stand alone as a sentence?

This isn't a good question, Ayon Khan. Almost all sentences that we utter are produced as part of some kind of discourse, such as a conversation, or a monologue, or a story, etc. They can't stand alone.

I suspect that what you may be asking is whether they are grammatically and semantically well-formed sentences. If so, the answer is yes.
 
I can't think of any natural context for 1, 3 and 4.
