THE THIRD CONDITIONAL EXAMPLES We use the third conditional to talk about unreal situations in the PAST. The subordinate clause (if-clause) is always in the PAST PERFECT tense. The main clause in the

conditional (would have + participle) - "If I had known her telephone number, I would have phoned her" (It means that you didn't have her telephone number and you didn't phone her) 1. Complete the following sentences with the THIRD CONDITIONAL. Use abbreviations for the negative verbs: a) If Jane (not/lose) her job as a sales representative in London, she (not/move) to Edinburgh. b) If she (not/move) to Edinburgh, she (not/find) a job in a new company. c) If she (not/find) a job in the new company, she (not/meet) Adam. d) If she (not/meet) Adam, they (not/fall) in love. e) If they (not/fall) in love, Adam (not/ask) Jane to marry him. f) If Michael's alarm clock (ring) on time, he (have) time to have breakfast at home. g) If he (have) breakfast and home, he (feel) more relaxed. h) If he (feel) more relaxed, he (not/drive) so fast. i) If he (drive) slowly, he (see) the "STOP" sign. j) If he (see) the sign, he (not/crash) against the other car.

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 It talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation.

Third Conditional: no possibility The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming true.

If

condition result Past Perfect WOULD HAVE + Past Participle I had won the lottery I would have bought a car.

Sometimes, we use should have, could have, might have instead of would have, for

example: If you had bought a lottery ticket, you might have won.

IF clause if + subject + past perfect verb* main clause subject + would (OR could, OR might) have + past participle *The past perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb had, and the past participle (or third form) of the verb.
