Lesson 3
Activity 3.2

3.2 Practice Activity : Anteriormente hemos estudiado los diferentes grados de las estructuras
gramaticales de los condicionales cero, primero y segundo. En esta actividad aprenderemos la
estructura y uso del tercer condicional
IF I HAD KNOWN THAT YOU WERE SICK, I WOULD HAVE
GONE TO THE HOSPITAL
CONDICIONAL TIPO 3
La condicional tipo 3 o Third Conditional (3ª condicional) se utiliza para hablar de
acciones pasadas que no podemos cambiar. Por tanto, sabemos que la condición
es imposible y que la consecuencia es imaginaria. Se utiliza muy frecuentemente
para lamentarse de algo. 

Estructura
If + pasado perfecto simple, would have + participio pasado ↓
 + -ed (para verbos irregulares) 
  3ª columna (para verbos irregulares)

Condicional tipo 3
Ejemplos: 
If I'd passed my driving test, I would have bought a car. (Si hubiera aprobado el
examen de conducir, me habría comprado un coche) = pero no lo hice porque no
aprobé.

What would you have done if you had been in the same situation? (¿Qué habrías
hecho si hubieras estado en la misma situación?)
