It is one of the conditional clause. So according it "ayinatlithe ani vasta" we need to use would, could, should, might.

This sentence should be conditonal perfect that means present/future time actions.

Ex: If you had spoken, they would have beleived you.

This sentence is an unfulfilled condition clause. According to the rule these sentence contain two parts i.e. Main clause & subordinate clause. The Rule of the subordinate clause is: If/when/suppose+subject+had+verb 3 and the Rule of the Main clause is: subject+would/could/should+have+verb 3

Using if clause:
Unreal condition:
In the sub-ordinate clause----had+v3
In the main clause -------would/could+have+verb3

Example:
If I had studied well, I would have passed.

How is "this yesterday" correct?

If there is any compulsion to do a work then we use like.
have/has to,
is/are to,
was/were to
will have to ...etc.

Ex. (if you don't want to go to school but compulsory you have to go to school every day then use ->)I have to go to school.

Like that The given sentence showing to use. The person has compulsion to do help.So there should use"I will have to helped him." instead of "I will have helped him."
