If I were acquainted with this professor, I should have rung him up
yesterday. – Если бы я был знаком с этим профессором, я бы позвонил ему
вчера. Условие относится к настоящему времени (II тип), а следствие
— к прошедшему (III тип).

Обратный порядок слов (инверсия) в придаточных предложениях условия
В условных предложениях союзы if, provided, in case и другие могут быть опущены, если в придаточных предложениях имеются глаголы had, were, could, might, should. В таких случаях эти глаголы ставятся перед подлежащим.
Had he translated this article, he would have given it to me. – Если бы он
перевёл эту статью, он бы дал её мне.
Were he older, he would understand it. – Если бы он был старше, он бы
понял это.
Нереальное условие может быть выражено не только придаточным предложением, но и существительным со значением действия, события или признака, вводимого сочетаниями but for..., if it were not for..., had it not been for... (ср. рус. если бы не):
But for the strength of their character, the first settlers might not have survived
the first winter in America. — Если бы не сила характера, первые
поселенцы могли бы не выдержать первую зиму в Америке.
Предложения с wish
После глагола to wish, где в придаточном предложении выражается сожаление о ситуации, имеющей место в настоящем или относящейся к прошлому, употребляются формы, совпадающие с формами прошедшего неопределенного или прошедшего совершенного времени соответственно.
При этом утвердительная форма указывает на сожаление о благоприятном, но не осуществленном действии, а отрицательная форма — на сожаление по поводу напрасно совершенного неблагоприятного действия. Подобные предложения обычно переводятся на русский язык предложениями: Как жаль, что...; Хотел бы я, чтобы....
I wish I knew how to do it. – Хотел бы я знать, как это делать.
I wish I could speak Spanish. — Жаль, что я не говорю по-испански.
I wish I didn't live here! — Как жаль, что я здесь живу!
I wish I had gone there. – Я хотел бы туда пойти. (Жаль, что я туда не пошел).
I wish I hadn't called you. — Я жалею, что позвонил тебе.
I wish I had called you. — Жаль, что я не позвонил тебе.
