If-guided subjunctive mood

The subjunctive mood principle of if clause;

1, if the sentence is imagining an event that happened now but didn't actually happen, it will be reversed from the present tense to the past tense:

If+ past tense (clause), 4 modal verbs+verb prototype (main clause)

2. If the sentence imagines an event that will not happen in the future, it is the same as 1, but there are three clauses:

If+ past tense /if+were to do/if+should do, (main clause) 4 Modal verb+verb prototype.

3. If this sentence is imagining an event that happened in the past but didn't actually happen, the past tense will be reversed into the past perfect tense:

If+ past perfect tense, four modal verbs+did.
