1. Third Conditional

Index

Third Conditional

THIRD CONDITIONAL

It talks about an unreal past. We use it when talking about a past condition that was not attained, since the action in the if clause didn't happen. It is used to describe a situation that didn’t occured, and to imagine the possible result of this situation. If we switch the if clause and the main clause, the meaning is the same.if - clause past perfect---------------main clause would + have + past participleIf they had heard me, none of this would have happened.

Examples

 If we hadn’t taken a taxi, we wouldn’t have missed the plane. She wouldn’t have been tired if she had gone to bed earlier.  He would have become a teacher if he had gone to university. They would have been on time for the interview, if they had left the house at nine.

 If he had tried to leave the country, he would have been stopped at the frontier. If she had studied, she would have passed the test.  If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt sick.

If I hadn't missed the train, I wouldn't have been late for the meeting.  If I had known that you were coming, I would have met you at the airport.
