Basic English: Grammar - Third Conditional

We use the third conditional to talk about something in the past that would have happened if our actions had been different.
So we use it to talk about imaginary or impossible situations.

The third conditional takes the following form:


We can shorten,
I had to I'd
I would have to I'd have.

In the negative form,
I had not - I hadn't
I would have not - I wouldn't have.


We can also change the order of the sentences and put the result at the start of the sentence without a comma in between:
We would have understood better if the presenters had given us more handouts.
