I"m not the best person to answer questions about conditionals. If I were in your shoes (now), I would do the same thing (that you are now doing). If I had been in your shoes (then), I would have done the same thing (that you did then).
- I"m not the best person to answer questions about conditionals.
- If I were in your shoes (now), I would do the same thing (that you are now doing).
- If I had been in your shoes (then), I would have done the same thing (that you did then).
- So technically, #2 is correct, although I expect you'll hear #1.
- I very well may be wrong on this, so I'm happy to be corrected.
