Hi miela,
I'd like to correct some mistakes from the previous answer:
I regretted what I had done.
I saw a nice dress, but was not able to afford it.
…
If you jumped into a pool and lost your pants.

It's nice to see people trying their hands at corrections.

I saw a nice dress, but was not able to afford it.

While your suggestion is correct the present simple can be used to express general truths, so Keswick's solution works quite nicely too.

If you jumped into a pool and lost your pants. 

Also not wrong but "to jump in a pool" is actually used more widely.

I saw a nice dress, but was not able to afford it.

While your suggestion is correct the present simple can be used to express general truths, so Keswick's solution works quite nicely too.

The mistake in the original sentence that was overlooked in Keswick's correction is that "can't afforded" is grammatically incorrect. When the sentence includes a model verb like can, the model verb is conjugated and the main verb is an infinitive, so the simple past of "can't afford" is "couldn't afford".

The sentence if can is used would have to be either "I saw a nice dress, but I can't afford new clothes (= and I still can't)," or "I saw a nice dress, but I couldn't afford new clothes (= I couldn't afford any at that time. I may or may not be able to now)."

Ah I should read more carefully, thanks.
