   • Usage
     • 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.
   • Example
     • If I had seen the film, I would tell you what it's about
     • If I had finished earlier, I could be there with you now.
     • If you had gone to the doctor, you might feel better now.
