Conditional Sentences Type 3

 Conditional sentence type 3

Third conditional sentence is a conditional sentence when a condition cannot possibly be realized at all. This can be described as a very impossible condition or just a dream or imagination. In this third type of conditional sentence, the sentence form uses the past perfect equipped with auxiliary modalities such as would, could, and should. 


Formulas for Conditional Sentence Type 3

The conditional clause (if + condition) uses the past perfect tense, while the main clause (result) uses the perfect modal (modal + have + past participle).

complex sentence
subordinate clause (if + condition)main clause (result/consequence)
if + past perfectwould/should/could/might + have + past participle
If-clause can be at the beginning or middle of a sentence. When if-clause takes place at the beginning of the sentence, a comma is placed before the main clause.


Example of sentences:

If you had remembered to invite me, I would have attended your party.

We might have gone to South America if she had not been pregnant.

If you had told me you needed a ride, I would have left earlier.

If I had cleaned the house, I could have gone to the movies.

If she hadn't taken the course, she wouldn't have gotten the scholarship.

If I had locked the car, the thief wouldn't have stolen my car.

Conditional Sentences Type 2

 Definition of Conditional Sentence Type 2

Type 2 conditional sentence or second conditional is a conditional sentence that is used when the result / consequence (result) of the condition (condition) has no or little possibility of being realized because the condition cannot be fulfilled in the present (present situation is not real) or condition- difficult to meet in the future (unlikely to happen).

complex sentence
subordinate clause (if + condition)main clause (result/consequence)
if + simple pastwould/could/might + bare infinitive

Example:
  • If I inherited a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.
  • If I owned a zoo, I might let people interact with the animals more.
  • If I were you, I would continue my study.

Conditional Sentences Type 1

 Type 1 or first conditional is a conditional sentence that is used when the result / consequence (result) of the condition (condition) has the possibility to manifest in the future because the condition is realistic to be fulfilled. Conditions are in the subordinate clause with the subordinate "if" conjunction, while the result / effect is in the main clause.


Formulas for Conditional Sentence Type 1

The conditional clause (if + condition) uses the simple present tense, while the main clause (result) section uses the simple future tense "will" or imperative (bare infinitive or infinitive without to).
