THE THIRD CONDITIONAL
SENTENCES
We make the third conditional by
using the past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have' and the past participle
in the second part of the sentence:
|
IF + SUB + HAD + V3+
(OBJ) +, + SUB + WOULD + HAVE + V3+ (OBJ)
|
It talks about the past. It's used to
describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this
situation.
For example:
If she had studied, she would
have passed the exam (but, really we know she didn't study and so she
didn't pass)
If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't
have felt sick (but I did eat a lot, and so I did feel sick).
If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't
have missed the plane
She wouldn't have been tired
if she had gone to bed earlier
She would have become a
teacher if she had gone to university
He would have been on time for
the interview if he had left the house at nine
