3rd TYPE CONDITIONALS Explanation and practice

 
The 3rd conditional sentence structure is also called the past unreal conditional or past hypothetical conditional. It is used to imagine a different past than the one that happened.

((Este tipo de condicional se conoce como "IMPOSIBLES" pues ya ocurrieron en el pasado y no tenemos posibilidad de cambiar el resultado, solo nos queda lamentarnos.))

If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t have got so fat. (Si yo no hubiera comi tanto, no habría engordado tanto)

The if clause is unreal. It did not happen. The result is what would have happened IF the if clause were real:

If I hadn’t eaten so much,

Did I eat a lot? Yes, I did. However, I’m imagining what would have happened if I hadn’t eaten so much.

What would have happened if I hadn’t eaten so much? The result:

…I wouldn’t have gotten* so fat.

Am I fat now? Yes. I would not be fat now if hadn’t eaten so much in the past. If I ate well in the past, I would not be fat now.
*In American English, ‘gotten’ is used at the past participle of ‘got.’ In British English, ‘gotten’ is not used.
[I'm not fat in real life! I am just using this as an example sentence!]

The 3rd conditional form:

If + past perfect, would have + past participle

NOTE:

*Because you are imagining the past, you can ONLY use if. In this sentence structure, you cannot use when, after, or any other time conjunction. (normalmente usaremos la partícula condicional if, ya que es pasado)

Common uses of this sentence structure:

((Usos comunes de la tercera condicional: ))

1.What would you have done if … ? (¿Qué habrías hecho si...?)

What would you have done if you hadn’t been accepted at any university?
What would you have done if we hadn’t been there to help?
What would you have done differently if you had known you would never speak to him again?

2. If I had known… (Si yo hubiera sabido que...)

If I had known that you needed help, I would have come!
If we had known you were sick, we would have gone to visit you in the hospital.
We wouldn’t have driven all this way if we had known the museum was closed.
If I had known that you needed a ride to school, I would have driven you.
I really wanted to see that movie! If I had known you were going, I would have gone with you!

3. You can use this sentence structure to express regret about something in the past, and to wish the past had happened differently. 
(Usamos la 3ª condicional para lamentarnos de una situación pasada que queremos hubiese sido de manera diferente)

If we had known the movie was so awful, we wouldn’t have wasted our money on it.
If I had finished high school and gone to university, I would have gotten a better job.

4. You can use this structure to criticize someone/something or point out mistakes:
(Para criticar algo o señalar errores)

If you hadn’t stayed out so late last night, you wouldn’t have slept in and been late for work!
It would have been quicker if we had taken a taxi to the park instead of walking.

More example sentences:

If I hadn’t gone to the party, I would have never met my husband.
We would have gone out last night if we hadn’t been so tired.
If his brother hadn’t reminded him, Dan would have forgotten his wife’s birthday.
If she had seen the ice on the road, she would have slowed down and she wouldn’t have gotten in an accident.

Other modal verbs can be used in the result clause:

might have + past participle = maybe

If I had known you would be at the party, I might have gone.
If I had known about his police record, I might not have dated him.
If he had finished high school, he might have had a better life.
If she had been wearing her seatbelt, she might have survived the car accident.

could have + past participle = possibility or ability

I could have been a world-class swimmer if I had practiced more when I was younger.
If I had known you didn’t have a car, I could have driven you to the meeting.
If my parents hadn’t lent me money, I could never have afforded university.
If you had told me the TV was broken, I could have fixed it for you!

What is a plural NOUN?

Plural nouns are nouns which are always plural and have no singular form. They are often things which have two parts joined together, e.g. trousers (trousers have two legs), or scissors.
Some plural nouns refer to a group (of people or things). An example of this is police.
Plural nouns always take a plural form of the verb, so we say:

• My trousers are wet.
• The goods were stolen.
• The police are here.

Sometimes we use some with a plural noun. In other cases we can say a pair of. Here are 10 plural nouns and examples of how we use them.

THIRD CONDITIONALS PRACTICE

ACTIVITY ONE:

We are going to read the following dialogue which includes sentences in 3rd conditional type. We will identify their structure and we can translate it into our own language.
(Este diálogo contiene ejemplos de 3er tipo de condicional)



Susan: Has it ever occurred to you that if you hadn’t been giving a class in Pepsi on the day I was visiting the marketing department, we never would have become friends?
Jack: Of course it’s occurred to me… and if we hadn’t become friends then we wouldn’t have fallen in love.
Susan: And if we hadn’t fallen in love you wouldn’t have escaped your empty life.
Jack: Hey… hold on a minute… I don’t remember that part.
Susan: That’s what you wrote on my Facebook page when we 10 started going out.
Jack: Yeah…I was probably just trying to get you in bed.
Susan: But you’d already got me in bed.
Jack: In that case I must have been trying to keep you in bed. But, anyway…yeah…none of us’ll forget that in a hurry. It was through Facebook that my ex found out I was in a new relationship. She went nuts. If I hadn’t written that message she never would have found out and she never would have gone to your office.

ACTIVITY TWO:

The students will memorize the dialogue in pairs and they'll perform it in front of the class. This is an excellent practice to eliminate the shiness in the students.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS IN ENGLISH

1. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS IN ENGLISH / Los pronombres reflexivos en inglés


myself – yo mismo, me, a mí mismo,
yourself – a ti mismo, te, tú mismo, a usted mismo
himself – a él mismo, se, a sí mismo,
herself – a ella misma, se, a sí misma,
itself – a sí mismo, se, ( se refiere a las cosas o los animales)
ourselves – a nosotros mismos, nos,
yourselves- os, a vosotros mismos, a ustedes mismos

themselves a ellos mismos, se, a sí mismos

Be careful the plural is irregular: SELF--> SELVES.

2.  DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND SPANISH / Diferencias entre español y inglés:

Reflexive pronouns aren't as common in English as they're in Spanish language, here you are some examples / Ten en cuanta que los pronombres reflexivos no son tan comunes en inglés como en español. Esto es por el hecho de que no existen muchos verbos reflexivos en inglés. Por ejemplo…

“Me corté el pelo” “I cut my hair”… literalmente en inglés se dice “corté mi pelo,” no hace falta utilizar un pronombre reflexivo.
“Me he afeitado” “I have shaved”

there are some idetical meanings in both langages for example: /Sin embargo existen algunos verbos ingleses en que los pronombres reflexivos son exactamente igual que en español: por ejemplo – ‘to enjoy oneself’

The girls enjoyed themselves a lot – las chicas se divertieron mucho
I enjoyed myself a lot – me divertí mucho

3.  When do we use these pronouns in English language? / ¿Cuando se emplean los pronombres reflexivos en inglés?

1.  To emphasize our speech / Muchas veces los pronombres reflexivos en inglés dan énfasis a lo que se está diciendo. Imagínate si siempre estás pidiendo un favor a tu amigo – quieres que te arregle tu ordenador. Al final estás harto de preguntarle cuando va a hacerlo y dices… “Vale, lo haré yo mismo.” “I’ll do it myself.”

O ¿has tenido un novio que era muy tacaño y estabas pidiendo algo pero el siempre estaba intentando evitar comprarlo y al final le has dicho “If you’re too tight to buy it I’ll buy it myself.” “Si eres demasiado tacaño para comprarlo lo comprare yo misma.”

O imagínate unos padres muy dominantes que siempre están diciendo a su hijo lo que tiene que hacer – incluso intentan dictar lo que tiene que estudiar en la universidad. Un día el chico dice ‘ya basta… voy a decidir mi futuro yo mismo… no vosotros.” “I’m going to decide my future myself… not you.”

2.  We use them when we do something and we receive the effects of that action / Se usan los pronombres reflexivos en inglés cuando hacemos algo y recibimos los efectos de esta acción. Es decir que el sujeto y el objeto de la acción son los mismos.

Así que imagínate un escritor que quiere lanzar una campaña de publicidad sobre su trabajo y sus ideas. No tiene editorial ni dinero para promocionarse así que decide “I’m going to promote myself on my website.” Voy a promocianarme en mi pagina web.” O, imagínate un hombre loco que decide desnudarse y pintarse rosado. “He said he wanted to paint himself pink.” “Dijo que queria pintarse de rosa.” (Perdón – no sé de qué parte de mi subconsciente proviene esta imagen).

4. Some Common sentences with Reflexive Pronouns /  frases comunes:

1. To help yourself to something…. “servirse”… “Help yourself to desert if you want”. Sírvase el postre si quieres.”
2. Cuando estas solo estas “by yourself.” Si ella esta sola esta “by herself.”
3 “Go fuck yourself”. Aunque este reflexivo parece implicar masturbación implica mandar a alguien al infierno.
4. Tienes que creer en ti mismo. Esto no significa si crees que eres real o no… significa tener fe en tus habilidades… “To believe in yourself.”

5. Activity to practice these pronouns / Ejercicio con los pronombres reflexivos en inglés :

* Translate into English with a reflexive pronoun : Hay que leer esta lista de oraciones con los pronombres reflexivos en inglés. Después hay que traducirlas. Venga…es un ejercicio muy fácil.

1. Me corté con unas tijeras.
2. El se miró en un espejo grande.
3. Si quieren vino, sírvanse ustedes mismos por favor.
4. Se divirtieron en la fiesta.
5. Los jugadores se compraron varias casas.
6. Tienen que aprender como defenderse… es muy importante.
7. Puedes averiguar todo tú mismo.
8. Van a presentarle a mi mama.
9. Me encanta ir de viaje solo.
10. No me divertí mucho.
11. Mírate…estas muy fea hoy.
12. Si no puedes controlarte… me voy.
13. Hay que cuidarse.
14. Si no te respetas nadie va a respetarte.
15. Ha solucionado el problema él mismo.

First Conditional

The basic structure of this conditional is this:

IF + present simple, + future simple (estructura básica)

If you leave me nown You'll take away the biggest part of me (Bee Gees' Video).
You can see the use of the first conditional in this song.

The first conditional (also called conditional type 1) is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the future. This page will explain how the first conditional is formed, and when to use it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The structure of a first conditional sentence
A first conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause:

if clause main clause
If you study hard, you will pass the test.

If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:


main clause if clause
You will pass the test if you study hard.

We use different verb forms in each part of a first conditional:


if clause if + subject + simple present verb
main clause subject + will + verb



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the first conditional
The first conditional is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the future -- things which may happen:

Example Explanation

If it's sunny, we'll go to the park. Maybe it will be sunny -- that's possible.
Paula will be sad if Juan leaves. Maybe Juan will leave -- that's possible.
If you cook the supper, I'll wash the dishes. Maybe you will cook the supper -- that's possible
