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
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.
