I came across this sentence in the one of the English knowledge tests, and it really confused me. It turned out that I cannot say "I'd love to live in the 19th century" because of some grammar rules related to the past tense.
I searched about this, but all I got were only more questions and misundestanding. Some sources said that I can use the "I would have loved" construction, but I'm not sure whether I can use it in this case.
So, which of these examples are correct and what sense do they convey?
- I would love to have lived in the 19th century
- I would love to live in the 19th century
- I would have loved to have lived in the 19th century
- I would have loved to live in the 19th century
And what about continuous tense?
- I would love to be living in the 19th century
- I would love to have been living in the 19th century
