Una pregunta....

En este frase, no entiendo por que es "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le atendería" y no "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le habria atendido".  No entiendo por que la tradución en ingles es I would have served you y no I would serve you.... Help!

I disagree with the correction. Since it was "contrary to fact" the English translation should be "...would have served you" If, however, the statement were: if you come early, I would serve you. Si viniera antes, le atendería.
