: : Hello,
: : Could anyone tell me if I get this right.
: : I tried to write to a friend whom I planned to visit but something had gotten in the way.

: : "*I would have gone *there if my mom didn't cancel the trip.
: : Or
: : "*I would have been *" there if my mom didn't cancel the trip.
: : Thank you like always
