Third Conditional

Third Conditional

1. 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 + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle
     • He would have been on time for the interview if he had left the house at nine

2. MIXED CONDITIONAL

   • Unreal conditionals (type II + III) sometimes can be mixed, that is, the time of the if clause is different from the one of the main clause.

3. Third Conditional vs. Mixed Conditional

   • A third conditional sentence is comprised of two halves. If + Past Perfect Then Would have + Past Participle
     • Compare these two sentences: If I had gone to the disco on Saturday night, I would have met Sarah. If I had gone to the disco on Saturday night, I would be tired now. In the first sentence, we use the third conditional - a past possible action with the past result.
