THIRD CONDITIONAL/ MIXED CONDITIONAL

1. THIRD CONDITIONAL

   • USE
     • 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.
       • STRUCTURE
         • If + past perfect, subject + would + have + verb in past participle
           • EXAMPLES
             • If I'd worked harder, I'd have got a promotion.
             • If I'd been careful, I wouldn't have cut myself.

2. MIXED CONDITIONAL

   • USE
     • They are a combination of two different conditionals, usually between the second and third conditional.
       • STRUCTURE
         • If + subject + past perfect, subject + would + verb in infinitive
           • If + subject + past simple, subject + would + have + verb in participle
             • EXAMPLE

4. What is difference

   • It is in that the third conditional only covers situations that never happened but could have done it the same way the mixed conditional occupies this and the second conditional to create its own sentences
