El tercer condicional imagina un pasado distinto del que ocurrió: es el condicional del arrepentimiento y del "y si...". El hecho ya pasó y no se puede cambiar, solo especulamos sobre otro final. Fórmula: If + past perfect (had + participio), y would have + participio en el resultado: If I had studied, I would have passed. Tres verbos en el resultado (would + have + participio) que al hispanohablante le cuestan.

Cada condicional = una condición (if) y su resultado. Arriba lo REAL, abajo lo HIPOTÉTICO (imaginado).

Cuándo se usa

Arrepentimientos sobre el pasado: If I'd left earlier, I wouldn't have missed the train (si hubiera salido antes, no habría perdido el tren).

Imaginar otro final para algo ya cerrado, que ya no se puede cambiar.

Formación

If + past perfect (had + participio), would/could/might + have + participio

Ejemplos

ENIf I had driven carefully, the accident wouldn't have happened.

ESSi hubiera conducido con cuidado, el accidente no habría ocurrido.

ENIf you had gone to the shop, you could have bought milk.

ESSi hubieras ido a la tienda, podrías haber comprado leche.

El error típico del hispanohablante

La parte del if lleva had + participio, no "would have": If I had known (no "if I would have known").

No te comas have: es would have done, no "would done".
