Inverted conditionals

Examples:
Had she known it was so wet there, she would have taken an umbrella. = If she had known it was so wet there, ...
Were I to return to Argentina, I would definitely learn the tango. = If I were to return to Argentina, ...

Past regrets
As well as using third conditional and mixed conditionals to express regret about the past, we use the following structures, which can also imply criticism.
-
Would rather / sooner
-
We can use would rather/sooner + past simple/perfect or would rather/sooner + have + past participle if the subject is the same in both parts of the sentence.
-
If only + past perfect
We use it in the same way as wish for a regret about something in the past, although if only can sound like a stronger regret.
