Rule : When we want to talk about the past consequences of a situation that is still true at the time of
speaking, we use the past simple in the if-clause and would/wouldn’t + have + 3rd conditional (conditional
perfect) in the main clause.
When we want to talk about a present consequence of a past action, we use the past perfect in the ifclause and the 2nd conditional in the main clause.
