Hi. Could someone help me understand this usage? I hear native speakers use this conditional sentence construction a lot-the condition is in the PAST SIMPLE and the result uses WOULD HAVE , for example :
I would have nailed that audition, if you didn't make me miss it.(he did make her miss it).
I would have been disappointed, if you didn't come.(when the person is already there).
If I asked her, (when she was leaving) she wouldn't have told me( where she was going).
I mean, why isn't the condition in Past Perfect?
Please, help me out. With gratitude.
