Question

If they had sent a check to the telephone company last week,their telephone_out of service at this moment.为什么选would not be?

Answer 1

表示与过去事实相反的情况
从句：If 主语+had+done
主句：主语+should/would/could/might+have done　
eg：
1． If I had gotten there earlier,I should/could have met her.如果我早到那儿,我就会见到她.
（事实：去晚了）
2．If he had taken my advice,he would not have made such a mistake.如果他听我的劝告的话,就不会犯这样的错误了.
（事实：没有听我的话）
所以原句从句是had,那么主句就用would
