Grammar

Third conditional

We use the third conditional to talk about imagined past events or states and their consequences:

If you'd told me about your birthday, I would have bought you a present.

We use the past perfect in the if-clause and would have + past participle in the main clause.
We can also use could have or might have instead of would have.

We could have saved some money if we'd known about the offer.
If I had done more work, I might have passed the exam.

Common uses of third conditionals

  1. Regrets about things that happened or didn't happen in the past:
    If I'd sold my house two years ago, fortune.
  2. Relief about avoiding a past problem:
    might have missed the flight if you hadn't woken me up.
  3. Surprise about how things were different from expected:
    If you'd told me five years ago I'd have my own company one day,

Tip

Be especially careful with the contraction 'd. In the if-clause, it's a contraction of had. In the main clause, it's a contraction of would.
