I want to say, "if I was lucky, i would have got..."

Is this right "si tuviera suertes yo hubiera cogido..."

In a previous question, I was told to use the part subjunctive since the above is wrong. Could someone be kind and please translate the sentence above if it is incorrect to the past subjunctive (it is in the present subjunctive now)

I have updated them, sorry! - ractor, Nov 15, 2016
Hi Ractor. You might want to clarify your question. At present your English is ambiguous: Do you mean "If I *had been* lucky" or "If I *were* lucky"? - jellonz, Nov 15, 2016

You need to use past subjunctive rather than present subjunctive.

So could you please translate the sentence using the past subjunctive - ractor, Nov 15, 2016

1- if i had been lucky, i would have = si yo hubiera tenido suerte, yo tendria

2- if i were lucky , i would have = si yo tuviera suerte, yo tendria
