Dear teachers,
In the following sentence, should it be "wouldn't have been" or "wouldn't have had been"? Somehow, I prefer the second, i.e., "wouldn't have had been", but I can't explain why. Could someone help me ?
If not for the government and my teachers, I wouldn't have had been cheated to this extent.
Thank you very much.
Wouldn't have had been
