i have some questions. this sentence :if i hadn't ALREADY had plans for next weekend i would have accepted your proposal to go to a mountain resort. - is it correct?
- does already require had +v3 or is it possible to formulate: if i didn't already have plans for next weekend i would have accepted your proposal to go to a mountain resort ?
- or shouldi just skip the already and keep a simple mixed conditional sentence: if i didn't have plans for next weekend i would have accepted your proposal to go to a mountain resort?

Hello Dan, you are very smart and clear! If I could, I would come to the BBC to get to know you and the whole team, because you are really good! By the way, is it possible to take English courses at the BBC for some grown up students like me? Even if I am convinced that if you always make your brain work well, never grow old! and learning English is a good way to keep it in training

If the discount were still, I would have purchased certain clothes yesterday.
If I hadn't seen doctor naseer's blog, I wouldn't choose to pursue my postgraduate residency in the UK.

If I hadn't made a decision to study English six years ago, it wouldn't be possible to watch videos like this and understand everything.

Why say 'If I were smarter,...' ? According to my knowledge, 'was' instead of 'were' will make the sentence grammatically correct.
