[Grammar] Some question about tenses

[Flogger]

Hello

I'd like to know if the following sentences written by my own are grammatical or not. If they were not, would you please guide me how to correct them?


1) In the 2000s, I was thinking of being able to marry Peter, if he would give me a suggestion.

2) In the 2000s, I was thinking of being able to marry Peter, if he gave me a suggestion.

3) In the 2000s, I was thing of being able to marry Peter, if received a suggestion.

4) In the 2000s, I had been thinking of being able to marry Peter, if he gave me a suggestion.

4) In the 2000s, I had been thinking of being able to marry Peter, if received a suggestion.

Thank you in advance.

I think you mean that you were thinking of marrying him or of being prepared/willing to marry him, rather than of being able to marry him.

What do you mean by 'suggestion' ?

a suggestion of marriage.

How many of sentences are grammatical?

 

[Matthew Wai]

a suggestion of marriage.

A proposal.

That's an odd structure. Try a third conditional instead.
