THIRD CONDITIONAL
Third Conditional: no possibility
The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming true.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3phka38-iRsr3NsC8wAzDW79Rpj7Az3VfZUw9MR53Ewj6igsw0OkdFNXH7LSxFCSk04eARdjjwpSCOi_ZMtPncBZ14iXQF6zWCzWv2BiVVYybUsuoFInRKazO_iTDuNvoxQOKyOAegOWw/s320/if.jpg)
Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true because it is finished. We use the past perfect tense to talk about the impossible past condition. We use WOULD HAVE + past participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing about the third conditional is that both the condition and result are impossible now.
Third Conditional, también -Type III- Refiere a una situación hipotética del pasado y se forma según la estructura : if + past perfect + conditional perfect.
