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.)
