how to say "by now" in this complex sentence?

Question

We wanted you to have fallen asleep by now.

I've got: Nosotros queríamos que tú te hubieras dormido. How do you add the "by now". My guess is "para entonces" but it's just a guess.

GRACIAS!!

Answer 1

I would add "ya."

Answer 2

Para ahora I would say. But that would not be correct - always learning...

Nosotros queríamos que ya te hubieras dormido. Is a natural way to say it, in line with what kireiprincess said.

Answer 3

Nosotros queríamos que ya hubieras dormido tú. (without the te pronoun)

He ought to be here by now/ Ya debería haber llegado

This is an example from spanishdict.com too.

You can also just say: Queríamos que ya te hubieras acostado. We wanted you to have slept by now.

(acostarse means to lie down or to go to bed)

To fall asleep is dormirse, dormir means simply to sleep. - afowen, Apr 15, 2012
