Question

Do these sentences make sense?
1 Most people had figured that this issue might have began to subside before long.

2 Most people figured that this issue might have subsided before long.

Answer

I would say, "Most people figured that this issue would subside before long."

Answer

Thank you.

Answer

Both sentences make sense, but they sound awkward. The second is better, but I would choose a different verb than "subsided". Perhaps " Most people figured that this issue would become less important in time."
