I’m currently going to English courses.
Today I had the occasion to make a very grave mistake.
I literally had to translate the sentence from Spanish to English.
So I was competing another student with the same phrase.
He wrote: “I had known, If I would have come.”
It looked really bad to me but the teacher said he was correct.
As to my sentence: “If I have known, I would have come.”
Which he corrected me and said “had known”.
I initially thought of “had” but for some reason I wrote “have”, it maybe has to do with the English spoken amongst English speakers, not the grammatical English itself.
What is your opinion on that, is my sentence deemed correct?
