    third conditional
    The third conditional is used to express the past consequence of an unrealistic
    action or situation in the past.

    example

    If he had studied harder, he would have passed the exam.

    form

    To write a sentence in the second conditional, we use,


    If + past perfect - would/wouldn't have + past participle.
    Example: If you had told me about the test, I would have come.
    Would/wouldn't have + past participle - if + past perfect.
    Example: I would have come to the meeting if you had told me.
    The word would is often contracted to ‘d by native speakers. It’s also acceptable
    to use this in informal writing. And in speech it’s common to contract have to ‘ve in
    the third conditional

    practice
    If i had known...
    Write a paragraph starting with the phrase "If I had known" to talk about all the things
    you would have done If you had known a certain thing.
