    The third conditional is used to talk about imagined situations in the past that did not happen. It consists of "if" clause using the past perfect tense (had + past participle) to refer to the condition in the past, followed by a "would have" clause to refer to the possible result or consequence. Examples are given to illustrate how to form third conditional sentences and the context in which it is used to talk about unreal past situations with no possibility of occurring.
