Would is a past-tense form of will. If you are writing about past events, you can useit to indicate something that was in the future at that point in time, but is not necessarily in the future right now. In other words, you use would to preserve the future aspect when talking about the past.

Suppose someone gave me money in the form of cheque, and I am not happy with that, because I wanted money in the form of cash.

Is it correct to say, "I would have been more satisfied if she gives me cash."
The way to write such a sentence is the following:

If + Past Perfect, + Would Have + V3

OR

Would Have + V3 + If + Past Perfect

So, in your case, the correct sentence would be:

"I would have been more satisfied if she had given me cash."

We use would have as the past tense form of will have:

I phoned at six o’clock. I knew he would have got home by then.
 It was half past five. Dad would have finished work.

We use would have in past conditionals to talk about something that did not happen:

If it had been a little warmer we would have gone for a swim.
 He would have been very angry if he had seen you.
