You probably mean "foresaw". "Forebode" is technically correct but that
usage is uncommon. It normally means to have a premonition (i.e. a
"foreboding").
And I would use none of those terms.
Surely "neither", not "none". Though like "forebode", "none" is
technically correct as well.
I would have said "I understood it already...." or "I realized it already....", or even
"I knew it already...".
But did the OP know? Or did xe just feel that oncoming?
*My* reason is that I find "forebode" and "foresaw" as anachronistic in conversational
English. I can't recall a time that I have used those words. I can only recall seeing
them in literary works of previous generations. :-)
That is a self fulfilling prophesy. Quite forbidding in its outlook.
