Monday Grammar Rules: Third Conditional 📚

We use the Third Conditional to talk about unreal situations in the past and their imaginary results.

If + past perfect, would have + past participle

Examples:
• If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam.
• She would have arrived earlier if she had taken a taxi.
• If they had left sooner, they would have caught the train.

When do we use it? 📝
• Talking about regrets
• Imagining different past results
• Reflecting on past mistakes

⚠️ Common mistakes:
❌ If I would have known, I would have helped you.
✅ If I had known, I would have helped you.

❌ She would pass the test if she had studied.
