this topic with your teacher.

THIRD CONDITIONAL
The first and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third conditional we talk about the
past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. That is why there is no possibility for
this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming

true.
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 condition result
Past Perfect would have + past participle
If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.

We are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the lottery. Therefore, the
condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true because it is finished. We use
the past perfect tense to talk about the impossible past condition. We use would have + past
participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing about the third conditional is
that both the condition and result are impossible now.

Examples:
- If I had seen Laura, I would have told her.
- If it had rained yesterday, I would have stayed at home.

You can also put the result first and then the condition
I would have stayed at home If it had rained yesterday.
What would you have done if it had rained yesterday?

topic with your teacher.
