The conditionals

We use the zero conditional to talk about causes and results that are always true:
I can't study if it's noisy.

We use the first conditional to talk about possible events and their results:

If I get a job, I'll move into my own apartment.

We use the second conditional to talk about situations that are not real or unlikely (when we imagine events and their results):

If I did a bungee jump, I'd be very nervous!

We use the third conditional to talk about imaginary situations in the past and their imaginary results (often to express regret or criticism):

If I'd driven more slowly, I wouldn't have had an accident.

Type 3 

• Third conditional

 

if sentence	result
past perfect	would + have + past participle
If I had studied harder,	I would have passed the exam.

Things that didn't happen in the past and their imaginary results 

Third conditional gebruik je bij...

1. Zeer onwaarschijnlijke situaties in de toekomst / fantasie
2. Mogelijke en waarschijnlijke situaties / voorspelling
3. Feiten en waarheden
4. Situaties vonden niet plaats, zijn hypothetisch

Voor de third conditional (niet gebeurd), gebruik je de volgende formule:

1. If + would + Present Perfect
2. If + Past Simple + would
3. If + Past Perfect + would + Present Perfect
4. If + would + Past Perfect
