THIRD CONDITIONAL

THIRD CONDITIONAL

1. The third conditional. This type of conditional is used to think about situations in the past that did not happen and imagine what results they would have had.

2. If you had put yeast, the cake would have risen.

   • If I had asked you, would you have helped me?

3. If + past perfect, sujeto + would + have + verbo en pasado participio

4. Another feature of conditionals is that the order of the two sentences can be changed. If we start with the condition (If) we will separate them by a comma. If we start with the phrase that expresses the result, it is not necessary to put the comma.

5. How is the third conditional used? To refer to past situations that never happened and imagine what results they would have had

6. MIXED CONDITIONAL

   • Mixed conditionals are a combination of two different conditionals, usually between the second and third conditional.
   • If the instructions weren't so confusing, I would have already assembled the cupboard.
     • If I hadn't lost my keys, I wouldn't ask you to lend me yours.
   • If + sujeto + past perfect, sujeto + would + verbo en infinitivo
   • How are mixed conditionals used?
     • When we want to express that a situation that took place in the past has a result in the present. In this case the part of the condition (if) will be the same as that used in a third conditional; and the phrase that expresses the result will be the same as that used in a second conditional.

8. DIFFERENCE

   • mixed conditionals are used to talk about the present and the past in the same sentence
     • So this is third conditional isn't it – both the IF clause, and the results clause are in the past.
