Mixed Conditionals
When we talk about mixed conditionals,
we are referring to conditional sentences
that combine two different types of
conditional patterns. These combinations
are not all that frequent, but the most
common combination is when we have a
type 3 conditional in the if-clause (if + past
perfect) followed by a type 2 conditional
(would + infinitive) in the main clause.
Mixed Conditional Patterns
PAST PRESENT
Examples:

If I had won the lottery, I would be rich.
BUT I DIDN'T WIN THE LOTTERY IN THE PAST AND I AM NOT RICH NOW.
If I had taken an aspirin, I wouldn't have a headache now.
PAST FUTURE
Examples:
If she had signed up for the ski trip last week, she would be joining us tomorrow.
BUT SHE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THE SKI TRIP LAST WEEK AND SHE ISN'T GOING TO JOIN US TOMORROW.

If I had known that you are going to come by tomorrow, I would be in then.
PRESENT PAST
Examples:

If she had enough money, she could have done this trip to Hawaii.

PRESENT FUTURE
Examples:

If I were you, I would be spending my vacation in Seattle.
FUTURE PAST
Examples:

If I weren't flying to Detroit, I would have planned a trip to Vancouver.
FUTURE PRESENT
Examples:

If I were taking this exam next week, I would be high-strung.
MIXED CONDITIONALS
If-clauses can be mixed provided that they make sense within a context.
If-clause Main clause
Type 3 If she had worked harder
at university,
She would have a degree
now.

Type 2
(she didn`t work hard at
university
so she doesn`t have a
degree now. )
Type 2 If I were faster,

I would have won the
race.
Type 3
(Im not fast so I didnt win the race.)

Type2

If they were studying all
morning,
they will be tired now.

Type 1

(they were studying so they are tired now.)
