If + Past Perfect, would + infinitiv govori o sadašnjoj posledici nerealne prošlosti.

CorrectIf I had taken the offer, I would live abroad now.
IncorrectIf I had taken the offer, I would have lived abroad now.

Now upućuje na sadašnji rezultat.

Sadašnja osobina → prošla posledica

If + Past Simple, would have + V3: trajna nerealna osobina utiče na raniji događaj.

CorrectIf he were more careful, he would not have lost it yesterday.
IncorrectIf he is more careful, he would not have lost it yesterday.

Sadašnja hipotetička osobina stoji u Past Simple.

Conditional inversion

Bez if se uz had, were ili should može koristiti inverzija.

CorrectHad I known, I would have helped.
IncorrectHad known I, I would have helped.

Had + subject + past participle.

Zapamtite: Had I known = If I had known; Were he to… = If he were to…; Should you need… = If you should need…
