There are problems with several of your original sentences and given choices. These are correct:


I was told that I should leave my application with you.

That is enough!There is no need for such language.

If we had a car, we would not have to go by coach.

It is no good his apologising to me now.

I rather enjoy a good wine.

I was wondering if you had seen Kevin recently.

Hardly had I put down the receiver when there was a knock at the door.

I told Julie I might not be able to come.

The smoking habit can be bad for your health

If only you had told me earlier, I could have helped you out.

A sandwich? Wouldn't you rather have that gorgeous meringue?

Do you mean to say she is coming now?

I would have come if you had invited me.

I really don't like being/to be invited to formal receptions.

Mister Micawber:

I think (for the Past):
"If we HAD had a car, we would not have gone by coach. "

Is this correct?

Thanks,

If you wish to put the present-sentence original example into past form, it would be:

If we had had a car, we would not have had to go by coach.
