This is the last official homework for this school year. Today we wrap up on unit 12, the grammar section, which refers to the Third conditional.
THIRD CONDITIONAL
Already mentioned previous year, you should know that conditionals are complex sentences. They consist of two parts, called clauses, and they are in a special relation to one another. In the case of conditional sentences the two clauses are IF-clause and MAIN clause, the first one showing the condition needed for something to happen (or not happen), the second showing the result.
If you look at exercise 1, there are three sentences in the third conditional. You can notice which grammatical constructions are used to form them. If you answer the questions, you also get an idea about their use. Therefore, you can complete the blue RULE rectangle :)
- To talk about unreal situations in the past and their imagined results, we use the third conditional.
- In the condition clause we use IF + PAST PERFECT, and in the result clause WOULD (but also COULD, MIGHT) + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE of the main verb.
- The condition clause can come before or after the result clause. (If it comes before, there is no need to use a comma.)
You can check more about the third conditional on the following links (or just ask me):

(There are also exercises included, this is not homework, but you might just try them)
Congrats, you made it! I know that it definitely wasn't the same as when we're in the classroom, but everyone tried real hard during these weird times. I'll send you details about the test on Sunday, and I also expect this homework by then.
