Came home /come home

[Concealedpersona]

Context - A girl is really happy to announce that she got her dream job and she only told her mother and sister about it , her father is at the office working, the girl is ready to wait for him to come home but her sister says(with excitement)

• If I were you, I would be able to wait until he came home.
• If I were you, I wouldn't be able to wait until he comes home.

Is there any possibility we can use " came home "? Or it's patently wrong.

1. If I were you, I would be able to wait until he came home.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to wait until he comes home.

Is there any possibility that we can use "came home "? Or is it completely wrong?

You have two differences in the sentences (which should be numbered —not given bullet points).

If you meant to write 'wouldn't' in #1, then yes, you can use 'came home'.

@Concealedpersona The word "and" doesn't work in the first sentence. Try: "but she has only told her mother and sister about it."

Concealedpersona,

Please don't post the same question to different forums simultaneously. Post on one forum only, wait for responses and then, only if you are disappointed with/confused by the responses (or there aren't any), post on another forum and include a link to the first forum thread.
