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 + sub + had + verb3 + (obj) +, +
sub + would have + verb3 + (obj)
It talks about the past.
It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result
of this situation.
-If she had
studied, she would have passed the exam.
(but, really we know she didn't study and so she didn't pass)
-If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't
have felt sick.
(but I did eat a lot, and so I did feel sick).
-If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't
have missed the plane
-She wouldn't have been tired if she had
gone to bed earlier
-She would have become a teacher if
she had gone to university
-He would have been on time for the
interview if he had left the house at nine.
