Grammar question It would have not fitted or fit. Which one is correct?

The correct phrase is "It would not have fit".

Here's why:

* "Fit" is the correct past participle of the verb "to fit".

* "Fitted" is the past tense of "to fit", but we need the past participle in this context.

* "Would have" is used to express an action that was possible but didn't happen in the past.

So the full sentence is: "It would not have fit."
