I would have gone to that party if I had been invited. "Would have gone" in this sentence is about as close as English can get to the idea of the past conditional of "go" in a language that has a formal past conditional tense, although formally the English phrase is the conditional present perfect tense. As you may well know, English often uses a present perfect tense when other languages would use a simple past indicative instead.
