Past Condition / Present Result

The first one has a condition in the past and a present result. We use it to express that if something
had been different in the past there would be a present result.

For example: if we hadn't missed our flight we'd be in Spain now.

The structure is: If + past perfect, would (could, might) + infinitive.

Present Condition / Past Result

The next one has a present condition and a past result. We use it to express that due to certain
present conditions something already happened in the past.

For example: if I was more diligent, I would've finished my degree at university. The meaning is: I
am not a diligent person and because of this present condition I have never finished my degree.

The structure is: if + past simple, would (could, might) have + past participle.

 If I had gone with Tito, I would not be so lonely now!

She went with Tito and feels lonely

She stayed behind and feels lonely

 I would have learned Spanish if my life was not so busy.

She has a busy life and therefore never learned Spanish

Her life was busy and she never learned Spanish then

 If I had enough money, I would have gone with him.

She still does not have enough money and that is why she did not go with him

She did not have enough money and therefore she did not go with him

She did not quit her job and she has enough money.
