Third Conditional

SECOND CONDITION REVIEW

"Imagine you won a million dollars in a lottery but lost the ticket before you could claim the prize."

What would they have done differently in the past to avoid losing the ticket and what would have been their reactions in the present.

Lets analyse these sentences:

1) If I had studied medicine, I would have been a surgeon.

But you didn't study medicine, so you're not a surgeon.

2) I wouldn't have been sick if I hadn't eaten so much.

(But you did eat too much, so you were sick.)

3) If I had taken a taxi, I would have arrived on time

(But I didn't take a taxi and so I didn't arrive on time.)

What Is The Third Conditional?

Third conditional sentences are used to talk about PAST things which are unlikely or impossible TO CHANGE.

When we want to imagine doing or changing something in the past

EXAMPLE: "If I HAD won the lottery, I would HAVE BOUGHT a big house."
