Now, the thing that happened is, that you were there, and that is written in normal past tense form. The thing that would have happened otherwise, i.e., you wouldn't have been happy, is in conditional mood.

:Panu, thank you so much for your incredibly detailed reply. I will need a few days to digest it and to make sense of it all (I've just started studying this topic, and some constructs are still unfamiliar to me), but it gives me a much needed frame to organize the pieces of information in. Would it be OK if I contact you again in the future if I am unable to figure out anything from your explanation above? Again, your assistance is very much appreciated!--[[Úsáideoir:Ag Foghlaim|Ag Foghlaim]] 16:11, 16 Deireadh Fómhair 2006 (UTC)
