paula carla is on a distinguished road
Default were you to choose/ had I seen...

Hi,
Could you explain the way to make it, I know the first, 2nd, 3rd and zero conditionals, but I dont know this other way to use them, and when.
Are they more formal?
I would appreciate if you could help.
Thanks so much

These are simply more formal versions, Paula Carla, a different collocation with the same meaning.

Were you to choose ... = If you were to choose ... = If you chose ...

Had I seen ... = If I had seen ...
