In conditions, hypotheses and wishes, if we want to talk about the past, we always use the past perfect:I would have helped him if he had asked.It was very dangerous, What if you had got lost?I wish I hadn’t spent so much money last month.
We can use the past forms to talk about the present in a few polite expressions:Excuse me, I was wondering if this was the train for Erdenet.I just hoped you would be able to help me.
