conditional+clauses+type+III

STRUCTURE

 * = ** IF CLAUSE (condition) ** ||= ** MAIN CLAUSE (result) ** ||
 * = ** past perfect ** ||= **//would have// + past participle** ||
 * If I **had known** it before, || I **wouldn't have given** him my phone number. ||
 * If she **had studied** harder, || she **would have passed** her exams. ||

// Example // : Unless I had passed my exams, I wouldn't have gone on holiday.
 * UNLESS: ** it can be used instead of "if // ". It means " // if not // ". //

//Example:// If it hadn't rained today, I might have gone to the beach.
 * COULD / MIGHT ** can be used instead of "//would//".

** USE: **
We use the third conditional when the condition is **impossible** to happen because we are talking about hypotheses in the past. We refer to the opposite of what actually happened.
