Answer:
(C) I saw you, I invited you.
This is the correct way to join the two sentences using an if clause. The if clause shows a condition that is true or possible in the past, and the main clause shows the result or consequence of that condition. Both clauses use the past simple tense.
(A) If I saw you, I would have invited you.
This is incorrect because it uses the past unreal conditional, which shows a hypothetical or imaginary situation in the past that did not happen. The if clause uses the past simple tense, but the main clause uses the past perfect tense with would.
(B) If I see you, I invite you.
This is incorrect because it uses the present simple tense in both clauses, which shows a general or habitual situation, not a specific one. The present simple tense is not used with if clauses to show past conditions.
(D) If I saw you, I would invite you.
This is incorrect because it uses the second conditional, which shows a hypothetical or unlikely situation in the present or future. The if clause uses the past simple tense, but the main clause uses the present conditional tense with would.
