good suggestion or piece of advice. Third Second Mixed ConditionalsFor imaginary present actions or situations that are not possible because the necessary conditions were not met in the past. Formation: if + past perfect, + would + base form For example: · If you had taken the course, you would know about it. (The conditions were not met because the person did not do the course and as a result does not know about it now.) Second Third Mixed ConditionalsTo avoid the illogicality of saying 'If I had been you', which means that I was not you on that occasion, but could be in the future, which is, of course, impossible. Formation: if + past simple, + would have + past participle For example: · If I were you, I wouldn't have done that. When the first part is still true For example: · If I could speak English, I wouldn't have needed to get the letter translated. (This means that I couldn't speak English then when I needed the translator and still can't)
