Third Conditional Review / Revisar el tercer condicional inglés

Sancho

I'm getting to be so good at this that I make more mistakes in Spanish than in English.

Esto se me está dando tan bien que me equivoco más en castellano que en inglés.

Para repasar el tercer condicional, lo primero que hay que hacer es recordar que las oraciones del tercer condicional se refieren a cosas que pudieron ser pero no fueron. Son las condiciones de lo que probablemente ya no tiene remedio y de lo que no pudo ser.

Para formar una oración del tercer condicional,
usa en la condición: if y had + participio
(es el present perfect).
usa en el resultado: would, could o might + have + participio
(ojo, siempre es have, nunca has)
Examples:
If you had come with me, I would have gone to the theatre.
Si hubieses venido conmigo, yo habría ido al teatro.
I couldn't have gone to Jane’s party if you hadn't taken me to her house in your car.
No podría haber ido a la fiesta de Jane si tu no me hubieses llevado a su casa en tu coche.
I might have gone to the picnic if I had felt better.
Quizás habría ido al picnic si me hubiese sentido mejor.
