Third Conditional
We use the Third Conditional to talk about an event or situation that did not happen in the past: Conditional clause main clause If+ Past Perfect - would + Perfect If Bruce hadasked me, I would have said yes. X If I wouldn't have become a teacher, I would like to be an actor. Yes If I had not become a teacher, I would have liked to be an actor. • Notice how we can make eitherclause negative, with changes in the meaning: If I had taken an umbrella, I wouldn't have got wet. (= but I did get wet) If I hadn't taken an umbrella, I would have got wet. (= but I didn't get wet) •Both clauses can be negative: They wouldn't have missed their plane if they hadn't woken up late. (- but they did wake up late, and they did miss their plane) • Instead of would, we can use could ormight) modal verbs in the main clause: If you'd asked, I could've told you the answer. I might have gone to the party if I had known about it. • We often use if only meaning I wish very strongly' Ifonly he had asked, I'd have helped him.
