Q

what is the general structure for I wish I could have been/if I could have been

A

BOTH ARE CORRECT.

I wish I could have been there.
PIHPP pudiera + inf (haber) + past participle
Ojalá que pudiera haber estado allá.

I wish I could have been there
hubiera + past participle + inf (HPPI)
Ojalá que hubiera podido estar allá.
This is back asswards, “have could been” but Walter says it sounds more natural and Pepe says it sounds more educated so USE THIS!

or If I could have been there is the same
si huberia podido estar HPE
si pudiera haber estado
