Please help me. i don't see what is the difference between these 2?
1. If he had taken the medicine as prescribed, he wouldn't still be lying in the bed.
2. if he took the medicine as prescribed, he wouldn't still be lying in the bed.
The first one is the mixed conditional. And the 2nd one is my version. Why is the first one cannot be replaced by the 2nd one. What's the difference?
