If he ( win) the prize yesterday, he ( be) happy now. Correct the verbs between brackets.

If he had won the prize yesterday, he'd have been happy.

Your suggested answer misses out an important word from the original - the word "now" at the end. That leads to only one correct response. What do you think it is?

That's good. You could also say: " If he had won the prize yesterday he'd be happy."

You've also omitted the important word "now", which appeared in the original question.

Not consciously. I was responding to post #3, and "now" is not there. Also, if you are using present tense isn't it taken for granted that you are talking about the present (now)?

Yes, but that was exactly the point of the exercise. The word "now" is what was meant to lead the student to use the words "would be" as the correct form of the verb "be". As we can see from post #1, the OP didn't get that hint and tried to use "would have been".

I made a mistake. I wasn't responding to post :3.(My post was post #3. )

So this is the correct answer.
