3rd Conditional = NO POSSIBILITY
If past perfect + would have + participle
If I had arrived here on time, I would have talked to her
Si yo hubiera llegado aquí a la hora, yo habría hablado con ella- The 1st conditional and 2nd conditional talk about the FUTURE.
- With the 3rd conditional we talk about the PAST. We talk about a condition in the past that didn't happen. That's why there is NO POSSIBILITY for this condition. So it is similar to a dream, but with NO POSSIBILITY of the dream coming true.
