3rd Conditional is used to talk about actions, and if they have happened, the consequence would have been done. So, we use this conditional in order to talk about unreal things that could have happened, and if they have happened the
consequence would have been done.
We form it: IF+ PAST PERFECT, would+ PRESENT PERFECT.
(had + V3) (have + V3)
E.g. If I had seen you, I would have said hello.
A) Rewrite the sentences using 3rd Conditional.
- not met you/my life different.
If I hadn't met you, my life would have been different.
-not wake up early/not arrive.

B) Match the 2 halves of the sentences. Remember 3rd Conditional's form.
1) If I hadn't met my best friend,
2) we wouldn't have arrived late
3) they wouldn't have seen that advert.
4) If they had started 2 years before,
5) If I had known that you were here,
6) they would have won the match.
7) If he had seen the sign,
8) The police wouldn't have given him
a ticket.
If we had got up early,
If they had turned on the TV,
I would have come sooner.
If they had better players,
they would have spoken better.
my life would have changed in many ways.
he would have stopped the car.
If he hadn't been talking on the phone.
C. Now, rewrite sentences using the contexts. Use 3rd Conditional.
Oh! It's 12 o'clock and I will probably be late! I should get up early.
If I had got up earlier, I would have arrived on time.
She's my best friend, I will never forget what she has done for me.
