The end is near folks! The third conditional!

Homer is right and we all know that. But this is extremely off-topic, so...
AHEM

 (Almost) Lastly, comes the one we all have been waiting for (YES, ALL OF US)

 NO! I mean, yes but not that one (to be fair, that one probably won't come anytime soon). I meant, the third conditional.

• It's used whenever it's impossible that the condition will be met because it refers to the past. Basically, we hypothesize about what could/would have happened if something had happened.
• Its form is the following:

if + Past Perfect, + would/could/should/... + have + Past Participle

Sounds easy, right? Because it is. Just look at the examples:

1. If he had been careful, he wouldn't have had that terrible accident. (But guess who DID have a terrible accident?)
2. If I had studied more, I would have approved more subjects (But guess who only approved 7 subjects out of 11?)
3. If she hadn't taken it so seriously, she wouldn't be so worried now (But guess who's worried as hell now?)

And that summarizes all you need to know about the conditionals, well, most of it. In the next post I'll cover the rest, and then, wishes. *insert fairy odd parents image here*
