Después de aprender Relative Clauses, en está lección aprenderás Third Conditional.
Utilizamos el Third Conditional usando el pasado perfecto después de «if» y luego «would have» y el past participle en la segunda parte de la oración:
If + past perfect, …would + have + past participle
Habla del pasado. Se usa para describir una situación que no sucedió e imaginar el resultado de esta situación.
- 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.
Como sabemos, un condicional consta de 2 factores: situación + resultado. Cada condicional tiene su propio propósito y varía en el tiempo del verbo en la situación y el auxiliar utilizado en el resultado. Primera revisión con los alumnos 1o y 2o nd Conditional como un repaso antes continuando con el Third Conditional.
