no U don't because Your subordinate clause is in past perfect and YoU can not use would have because it is used for future sentences.

hope it helps U dear friend...

Answer 2

Answer:

Bro you can use would have instead of could have but don't use it because could have is better than would have

Use of "Would have":

1. we use would have when we are looking back from a point in time in only past tense.
2. we use would have in conditionals to talk about something that didn't happen in the past.

Example:If it had been a little warmer, we would have gone for a swim.

If it had been a little warmer, we would have gone for a swim.(but it was cold so we didn't go for a swim).

Use of "could have":

1. we can use it when something was possible in the past, or we had ability to do something in the past, but that we didn't do it.

Example:I could have stayed up late, but I decided to go to bed early.
