I was reading the use of 'had better', which is used to give strong advice or to tell people what to do about the present or future, in Michael Swan's book, and it occurred to me at once as to how can we use it in the past. For example, if I were to say: "It had been good if you had not gone there", can't we use 'had better' here making the sentence look somewhat like: "You had better not gone there"? Can it, at all, be used in the past?
