CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 3

 IF CLAUSES / CONDITIONAL CLAUSES (Type 3)

Conditional clauses consist of two sentences. One is a clause that starts with if, which is called as ‘if clause’. The other is called the Main clause. Each sentence has a verb. It is important to know which tenses are to be used in these clauses and they play a big role in determining the meaning of the sentence. Detailed information for the type 3 is given below:

Purpose of Third Type ?



    The conditional sentences indicate us a possible condition and its probable result. It means  that the expected actions depends on a condition. If Clauses – Type 3 is used to express the past and  the impossible situations that can no longer be changed.

EXAMPLE :
1. The sentence can begin with an if clause or a main clause. If the sentence begins with an ‘if clause’, put a comma between the if clause and the main clause.

(If) + (past tense, or could ) + (,) + ( present unreal conditional (would) or modals)
(present unreal conditional (would) or modals ) + (if) + (past tense, or could)

Examples:
  • If I had studied, I would have passed the exam. (or) I would have passed the exam if I had studied.
  • If the museum had been open, we would have seen many different handworks. (or) We would have seen many different handworks if the museum had been open.
  • If the child had had breakfast, she would have been active. (or) She would have been active if the child had had breakfast.
2. If you want, we can use modals in both ‘ıf clause’ and ‘main clause’ or you can use modals only in one part.
Examples:
  • If I had had the  power, I might have looked after myself.
  • If my son could have taken the English course, he could have passed the exam.
  • If  she could have gone to Mexico, she would have seen the best friends.

3. In Type 3, one or two of the clauses can be negative
Examples:
  • If I had passed my exam, I would not ( wouldn’t ) have been sad.
  • If you had not ( hadn’t ) listened to me, you wouldn’t have been successful.
  • If she hadn’t fallen off the bicycle, she would have arrived at the school in time.

4. Using Type3 in questions
Examples:
  • What would have happen if there hadn’t been any electricity in our lives?
  • Would you have helped me if you had had time?
  • Wouldn’t you have studied hard if I hadn’t warned you?
  • What would you have done if you had had lots of money?

5. Tenses and structures can be used in If Clauses- Type 3 are given below:
a. In If Clause; we can use past perfect tense, past perfect continuous tense and  could + have + V3.
Examples:
  • If Jack had known where you were, he would probably have came you.
  • If you had been looking around carefully, you would have seen me.
  • If they could have developed their bussiness, they would have enlarged their workplaces.

b. In main clause; We can use would + have + V3, could + have + V3 and might + have +V3.
Examples:
  • If you had came here a bit early, you would have seen the most famous actor of London.
  • If my income had been very much, I could have bought a house with a garden.
  • If I had been an educated mother, I might have brought up my children better.
Example
  • If it had rained, you would have gotten wet.
  • You would have gotten wet if it had rained.
  • You would have passed your exam if you had worked harder.
  • If you had worked harder, you would have passed your exam.
  • I would have believed you if you hadn't lied to me before.
  • If you hadn't lied to me before, I would have believed you.

Contractions

Both would and had can be contracted to 'd, which can be confusing if you are not confident with type 3 conditional sentences. Remember 2 rules:
1. would never appears in the if-clause so if 'd appears in the if clause, it must be abbreviating had.
2. had never appears before have so if 'd appears on a pronoun just before have, it must be abbreviating would.

Examples

  • If I'd known you were in hospital, I'd have visited you.
  • If I had known you were in hospital, I would have visited you.
  • I'd have bought you a present if I'd known it was your birthday.
  • I would have bought you a present if I had known it was your birthday.
  • If you'd given me your e-mail, I'd have written to you.
  • If you had given me your e-mail, I would have written to you.

would + have + past participle
Have followed by the past participle is used in other constructions as well. it is called the "perfect infinitive".
