To form the if clause of mixed conditionals we use.
If plus pass perfect and the main clause would plus Ferb have a look at the examples below.

welcome to Mr. Tawil.
Today we're going to talk about mixed conditionals.
Let's get started.
Remember that conditionals aren't sentences with two clauses a main clause and an if clause.
Now conditionals think that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition
in the if clause is fulfilled.
Have a look at the example over here.
If we don't hurry we will be late.
Now this is a conditional sentence and it's used to state that the action in the main clause being late
will take place if we don't hurry.
Now there are five main types of conditionals in English and amongst them are mixed conditionals now
mixed conditionals referred to conditional sentences that combine two different types of conditional
patterns the mixed conditional is used to refer to a time in the path and a situation that is ongoing
in the present.
Have a look at the example below if I had won the lottery I would buy a huge house.
Now this means that I didn't win the lottery in the past and I'm living in a small apartment right now.
Now the most common mixed conditional is when we have a third conditional in the if clause.
If plus past perfect followed by a second conditional would close the B's form of the verb in the main
clause.
Note that the order of the main and if clause is not fixed although when the if clause precedes the
main one make sure to use a comma.
Now the less common mixed conditional is when we have a second conditional in the if clause.
If plus past simple followed by a third conditional would have plus past participle the mean clause.
Now this conditional refers to an unreal present situation and it's possible but on real past result
have a look at the example below.
If I weren't afraid of flying I would have travelled by air meaning that I am afraid of flying in general.
In that time I travelled by train.
