Hello everyone and welcome to this new exciting lesson!
Are you ready?
Let's focus on third conditional!
Third conditional: when do we use it?
- It is used to express the past consequence of an unrealistic action or situation in the past. Example: '' If he had studied, he would have passed the exam''! In this case, the first action '' had studied'' didn't happen, so it's not possible to pass the exam anymore!
How do we create the third conditional?We use: If + Past Perfect + would have + past participle ''If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a castle'' ''If you had told me about the meeting, I would have come''
We can also invert this structure:
Would have + if + past perfect''I would have come + if + you had invited me'' ''She would have died + if + the ambulance hadn't arrived quickly''
The third conditional is similar to the second conditional , but there is a small difference:
The third conditional refers to something unrealistic in the past:''If I had won the lottery, I would have travelled all around the world'' It's not possible anymore
The second conditional refers to something unrealistic in the future:'' If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world'' It is unlikely to win but still possible
Being able to use the third conditional will really make you sound like a native speaker!
Let's see other examples: If you had been more careful, you wouldn't have had a car accident! If he had asked me, I would have helped him! If I had known, I wouldn't have done it!
I wouldn't have gone there if I had known that it was closed! She would have been miserable if her boss had fired her! She wouldn't have given you a fine if you had apologized!
Try to guess the correct answer: The third conditional is used when both the condition and result are: -no longer possible -still possible -always true
Let's do some practice
If she (have) more time, she (go) to the gym! If I (study) Japanese, I (live) in Japan! I (go) to the party if I (be) tired!
Any questions?
