Subjunctive II in conditional sentences
Subjunctive II is used in adverbial clauses of unreal condition referring to the present or the future after the conjunctions if, on condition, in case. In such sentences the verb predicate of the principal clause has the non-perfect form of the conditional mood. The non-perfect form of Subjunctive II (the Past Subjunctive of the verb to be or the past Indefinite of the Indicative Mood for other verbs) is used in the adverbial subordinate clause of condition.
E.g. If I were you, I should help him.
E.g. If he came into the room, I should recognize him at once.
Subjunctive II is used in adverbial clauses of unreal condition referring to the past after the conjunctions if, on condition, in case. In such sentences the verb predicate of the principal clause has the perfect form of the conditional mood. The perfect form of Subjunctive II (the Past Perfect of the Indicative Mood) is used in the adverbial subordinate clause of condition.
E.g. He would have called you, on condition you had listened to him.
Subjunctive II is used in mixed conditional sentences, which are a combination of the previous two types. One of the clauses refers to the present or to the future, while the other refers to the past.
E.g. If you were not so lazy, you would have passed the exam.
E.g. If you had paid the bill, we wouldn’t have any problems.
Inversion in Conditional sentences
If the subject of the adverbial conditional clause is followed by the verbs to be, to have in Subjunctive II, the word order may be inverted. In such cases the conjunction is dropped.
E.g. Had I been free, I should have joined you.
Exercise 50. Open the brackets using the forms of Subjunctive II.

It (be) wiser if you had informed us.
We would have won if you (run) a little faster.
If you (send) that e-mail we talked about, we would know everything about the trip.
If she (keep on) singing at that jazz band, she would have ruined her life.
