– We would be able to handle this if we were given the permission to do it, but we can’t handle it because we aren’t given permission to do it.

2.1 the supposition is contrary to the present facts
e.g. – If I were you, I would plant some trees around the house.
But I am not you.
– The audience would not complain and walk out of the hall if his performances were attractive and qualified.
But the performances are not attractive and qualified, so the audience complain and walk out of the hall.

e.g. – If a burglar came into my house at night, I would throw this iron tool at him.
But I don’t expect the burglar to come into my house.
– If our representative failed in this session, we would lose the chance to win in this prestigious festival.

e.g. – If they knew English well, they could finish it in short time.
But they can’t finish it quickly because they don’t know English well.
– The students might give the positive response if they understood the advantage of this activity.
But the students do not understand the advantage of this activity so they do not give the positive response.

MAIN CLAUSE IF SUB CLAUSE
____________________

But I didn’t know that he came with his director so I didn’t prepare the best dinner for them.
– We would have been able to keep in touch with him some years ago if there had been a sophisticated communication tool.
But there was not a sophisticated communication tool so we weren’t able to keep in touch with him and finally lost him.
Possible variations of the main clause :
3.1 could / might can be used instead of “would”
e.g. – If we had found him five minutes earlier, we could have saved his life (ability)
But we couldn’t save his life because we didn’t find him.
– There might have been few numbers of people died in that disaster if they had paid attention to what the news had said before (possibility)
But the people didn’t pay attention to what the news had said before so there were many numbers of people died in that disaster.
3.2 the continuous form in the main clause may be used
e.g. – I would have been being detained for a day if there hadn’t been someone explaining that I was not involved in the riot.
But I wasn’t being detained for a day because there was someone explaining that I was not involved in the riot.
– Many workers might have been doing the job when the one of the tanks exploded if you hadn’t asked them to have a rest.
Fortunately, you asked them to have a rest.

Luckily, I was wearing a good helmet.
