Hello all.
I am looking through a grammar workbook and one task is to complete this sentence:
- You wouldn't have been tired all day if you ________ (go) to bed earlier.
I chose the answer as 'had been', but the answer at the back of the book says the answer is 'had gone'.
Why would it be ' had gone' and not 'had been'?
Many thanks.
