"Will have not" vs "Will not have" #1 (permalink) Mon Jul 21, 2008 8:24 am   "Will have not" vs "Will not have"
 

Hi

Could you please tell me if all the following structures are possible? And natural?

Quote:
Will have not: You can call him. He will have not left by now.
Will not have: You can call him. He will not have left by now.


Quote:
Would have not: Had you told me I would have not spent such a large amount.
Would not have: Had you told me I would not have spent such a large amount.


Quote:
Should have not: You should have not reacted the way you did.
Should not have: You should not have reacted the way you did.


Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi Tom,

The position of 'not' is not conventional or 'natural' in the first sentence of each of the three pairs.
