00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,500
hello guys today we are going to learn about the third conditional the third conditional is used

2
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:27,019
to talk about in real situations things that are related to the past and that we cannot change

3
00:00:27,019 --> 00:00:35,539
anymore. It is usually used to talk about regrets, things that we want to change.

4
00:00:35,539 --> 00:00:44,000
Let's see the structure. If plus past perfect and would or wouldn't have and

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,719
the past participle of the verb. Let's work with this example. If she had

6
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:57,280
studied harder she would have passed the exam. In this first part we have the past

7
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:05,620
perfect had and the past participle of the verb as it is regular we add ed. In

8
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:14,170
the second part we have would have and the past participle of the verb. As I

9
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:20,890
told you this sentence spreads a regret because we cannot change the past so

10
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:28,930
then, if she had studied harder, she could have passed the exam. Did she pass the exam? No, that

11
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:39,400
is why she is complaining. Here you have two more examples. If I had met Susan last week, I would

12
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:48,060
have given her the book. If you had got up earlier, you wouldn't have missed the train. Remember that

13
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:56,219
the first part is made up with the past perfect and the second one with would and present perfect.

14
00:01:56,219 --> 00:02:01,099
Remember also that you can change the order of the sentence instead of

15
00:02:01,099 --> 00:02:05,579
if you had got up earlier you wouldn't have missed the train

16
00:02:05,579 --> 00:02:12,139
you can start by saying you wouldn't have missed the train if you had got up earlier.
