If we would/could have done this
Hi. Are these correct? Thank you in advance.
1. If he would have done this, I would have done that.
2. If he could have done this, I would have done that.
I think this is correct as the second conditional, as requiring corresponding action from both parties..
If he would do this, I would do that.

The first form is used by some native speakers, but it is not generally accepted. These are correct: 1. If he had done this, I would have done that.
