Type 3 Conditional | Alternate Forms

Here we use a past perfect in the if-clause and would have + past participle in the result clause.

• If I had won that award, my life would have changed.
  
• If she had studied science, she would have found a better job.
  

The Type 3 Conditional is used to talk about past situations that did not happen.

• If you had invited them they would have come. (You did not invite them and therefore they did not come.)
  
• If you had worked harder you would have passed the exam. (You did not work hard and therefore you did not pass.)
