    The Third Conditional

    We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have'
    and the past participle in the second part of the sentence:

     if + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle

    It talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to
    imagine the result of this situation.

     If she had studied, she would have passed the exam (but, really we know she didn't
    study and so she didn't pass)
     If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have felt sick (but I did eat a lot, and so I did
    feel sick).
     If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't have missed the plane
     She wouldn't have been tired if she had gone to bed earlier
     She would have become a teacher if she had gone to university
     He would have been on time for the interview if he had left the house at nine
