When we talking about something that didn´t happen in the past, many people how speak english use the conditional perfect (if I would have done) when they should be using the past perfect (if I have done).
EXAMPLES:
1.- If I would have know you were going to the movies, I would have gone too.
2.- If I would have gotten paid, we could have traveled together.
3.- If you would have asked me, I could have helped you.
4.-If you would have call me, I could have said what you need to do.
5.-If would have go to school, we could have got better grades.

Good examples! I like that you are using "could" for these examples, we didn't use "could" in the examples in class.
