Ejemplo: If I got that job, I'd move to Toronto (Si consiguiera ese empleo, me mudaría a Toronto)
El tercer condicional se utiliza para referirse a una situación en el pasado que no ha ocurrido. En otras
palabras, habla de eventos imposibles, porque el pasado no se puede cambiar. Se refiere a un pasado
hipotético.
La fórmula para este condicional es: if + past perfect, … would + have + past participle
Ejemplo: If I had studied the right things, I would have passed that exam (“Si hubiera estudiado los
contenidos adecuados, habría aprobado ese examen”)… pero no estudié lo que tenía que estudiar, y
desaprobé.
