"Had it been" use
Hi there,
Would you please help me with this sentence. Is it correct to say:
" Had the essay been on modern history, I would have definitely done it better".
Thanks

Hello Alessandra,
This is an excellent example of grammatical inversion, well done. The only change I would make is in the second clause, 'I would definitely have done it better.'
I hope this is useful for you.

That sentence is fine, it is what we call the Third Conditional which we use for situations in the past that we would change if we could.

That sounds fine to me.
