Please note this: "would" is the past tense of "will," while "could" is the past tense of "can." And as you may know, something that CAN happen may not necessarily happen. However something that WILL happen, actually WILL occur. So, if you know that an antecedent WILL result in a specific consequent, then the antecedent WOULD HAVE resulted in the consequent, for example: "My employer told me that if I missed one more day of work I will be fired. So if I would have missed yesterday of work as you wanted me to, I probably would have been fired." "If you miss more than three days of work you can get fired. My boss could have fired me on the spot but he didn't: I had a legitimate excuse."
