Third Conditional: no possibility
الحالة الشرطية الثالثة: لا أمكانية

The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming true
الحالتين الشرطية الأولى و الثانية تتحدثان عن المستقبل.. في الحالة الثالثة نحن نتكلم في الزمن الماضي، نتحدث عن حالة في الماضي لم تحدث.. لذلك لا يوجد هناك أمكانية لتحقيق هذه الحالة.
الحالة الثالثة مثل الحلم، لكن بعدم أمكانية تحقيقه.

If >>>condition >>>result



If >>>Past Perfect >>>WOULD HAVE + Past Participle


If >>>I had won the lottery >>>I would have bought a car


Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true because it is finished. We use the past perfect tense to talk about the impossible past condition. We use WOULD HAVE past participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing about the third
conditional is that both the condition and result are impossible now
لاحظوا أننا نفكر في حالة شرطية مستحيلة في الزمن الماضي.. أنت لم تربح اليانصيب، اذاً الحالة لم تكن حقيقية، و تلك الحالة المحددة لن تتحقق لأنها أنتهت.
نقوم بأستخدام الفعل الماضي التام لنتحدث عن حالة ماضية غير ممكنة.. نستخدم WOULD HAVE + التصريف الثالث للفعل الماضي لنتحدث عن نتيجة مستحيلة التحقيق في الزمن الماضي.
الشيء المهم في الحالة الثالثة هو أستحالة الشرط و النتيجة الأن.

Sometimes, we use should have, could have, might have instead of would have, for example: If you had bought a lottery ticket, you might have won
