Grammar
If I would have pp.
If I had had much money, I would have bought it VS. If I would have had much money, I would have had it. So, my question is whether "if I had had" can be used for " If I would have had"? I heard many native English speakers say " If I would have pp, S+V~" Thanks in advance.

Some native speakers do indeed use 'would' in the 'if' clause, but it is still considered poor grammar. For careful English, use ' if I had had '.
