hmm... I'd translate them more like...

Si yo hubiese estado allí... "had I been there..."

Si yo estuviera allí... "If I were there"

estoy de acuerdo - also the first one could be - If I had been there :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 22, 2011

"Si yo hubiese estado alli" es "If I had been there".

"Si yo estuviera alli" es "If I was there".

Deseo que esto ayuda smile

I think 'were' is better for the subjunctive - If I were there :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 22, 2011
