"Should have come visit" or "Should have come visited"?????



And I know it's better to say "Should have visited", but I'm not interested in that.

That's good enough.

should've visited.

Yeah, I know. I said that in the original post.

"come visit" is a colloquial verb idiom. Since "come" is alread past tense to make up the past participle form ("have xxx-ed"-- have come, have raced, rave posted) then visit should not change.

Really, since the whole thing is colloquial, it doesn't matter all the much, though.

Since when is "Come" past tense?

HAVE come

the have makes it past tense

I think "I should have come visit you" sounds fine. Uncommon, but fine.

visit is still present tense. It doesn't agree with have. It needs to be visited.

It's not. Ignore that post, my brain must have been on autopilot.

Thank you for acknowledging that it's colloquial. Thanks for the advice.
