"Mngalienda shule mngalijua kuandika"

Translation: If you had gone to school, you would have known how to write

[vitoreiji]

As a non-native English speaker, I am not sure if this sentence is correct or if it should be "If you had gone to school, you would know how to write". Anybody?

[AGreatUserName]

It's correct if it means at a specific time in the past. Knowing how to write is generally a pretty long-lasting state and you're more likely to talk about your abilities now than at another time, so your sentence would be much more common.

And I was looking for the option to say "you would have been known how to write"!
