5. Third Conditional
Third Conditional
Irreal - sobre o passado
IF clause
If + Past Perfect (had + V3)
Main clause
would have + past participle
  • Situacao imaginaria sobre o passado - nao pode ser mudada
  • Arrependimento sobre decisoes passadas
  • Critica indireta sobre o passado
  • Especulacao sobre o que poderia ter acontecido
"If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam."
Arrependimento - nao estudei o suficiente.
"If she had taken that job, she would have been happier."
Especulacao - nao tomou o emprego.
"If he hadn't driven so fast, he wouldn't have had the accident."
Critica - dirigiu rapido e aconteceu o acidente.
Armadilha - contracoes no Third Conditional
  • "I'd have gone" = "I WOULD HAVE gone" (main clause)
  • "If I'd known" = "If I HAD known" (if clause)
  • NUNCA: "If I WOULD HAVE known" - "would" nunca aparece na clausula IF
  • Correto: "If I had known, I would have helped."
Variacoes com could/might no Third Conditional
  • "If she had studied, she COULD HAVE passed." (capacidade no passado)
  • "If they had left earlier, they MIGHT HAVE arrived on time." (possibilidade)
  • "If he had asked, I WOULD HAVE helped." (certeza hipotetica)
