Thank you for your help.
Isn't #2 grammatical?

What about the following?
Which one is correct?

3. I heard that you had not told her the truth.

Answered by Ms. Sue
Sentence 2 is grammatical, but awkward. I can't think of any situation when this would be necessary.

Both 3 and 4 are correct. However, 4 is more commonly used.
