Third Conditional - Inglês

Third Conditional

Third Conditional

A third conditional são sentenças condicionais usadas para falar do passado. Ela faz referência a algo que não ocorreu no passado e, portanto, pode expressar arrependimento.

Exemplo: If we had saved some money, we would have bought a new phone. (Se nós tivéssemos economizado dinheiro, nós teríamos comprado um telefone novo)

Third Conditional - Structure

A third conditional é formada pela if clause e a main clause. A if clause é composta por verbos no past perfect, já a main clause envolve diversos verbos sendo que os mais utilizados são: would have, could have e might have.

Após a main clause, os verbos que surgem aparecem no past participle.

if + had + Past Participle + would have, could have, might have + past participle

Exemplos:

If he had come on Monday, I would have seen him. (Se ele tivesse vindo na segunda, o teria visto)

If she had worked more, she could have saved more money. (Se ela tivesse trabalhando mais, poderia ter economizado mais dinheiro)

If we had studied harder, we might have passed the test. (Se nós tivéssemos estudado mais duro, poderíamos ter passado na prova)

Third Conditional

Obs: Nas sentenças negativas, os verbos modais podem aparecer com as contrações:

Would: would not – wouldn’t

Could: could not – couldn’t

Might: might not – mightn’t

Third Conditional

Importante destacar que a main clause pode surgir antes da if clause, por exemplo:

I would’ve called him if I’d known his telephone number. (Eu teria ligado pra ele se eu soubesse o número de telefone dele)

Note que a contração do would com o have é: would’ve.

E a contração de I com had é: I’d
