When do we use the third conditional?

The third conditional is used to express the past consequence of an unrealistic action or situation in the past.

For example:

If he had studied harder, he would have passed the exam.

The first action (studying hard) did not happen. But in the case that he happened, the consequence was passing the exam.

How do we create the third conditional?

To make a sentence in the third conditional, we use,

If + past perfect, would/wouldn’t have + past participle.

If you had told me about the meeting, I would have come.
