agr tm mahnat krty to pass ho jaty
if you had worked hard .you would have passed examination.
so here had is used but not been

Thanks Tooba,

Is it correct if I replace second sentence as follows:

Had there been better communication, this may not have occurred!

If there were better communication, It might not have occured.
