This is formed: If + subject + HAD(N'T) + past participle..... subject + would(n't) have + past participle. Remember, you shouldn't put 'if' and 'would' in the same clause. 2 As this is referring to a PAST time, you need the third conditional. This is formed: If + subject + had(n't) + past participle..... subject + WOULD(N'T) HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE. Remember, you shouldn't put 'if' and 'would' in the same clause. 3 As this is referring to a PAST time, you need the third conditional. This is formed: If + subject + had(n't) + past participle..... subject + WOULD(N'T) HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE. Of course, if you want to be less certain about the result, you can use 'might', or 'could' instead of 'would'. Remember, you shouldn't put 'if' and 'would' in the same clause. 4 As this is referring to a PAST time, you need the third conditional. This is formed: If + subject + HAD(N'T) + past participle..... subject + would(n't) have + past participle. Remember, you shouldn't put 'if' and 'would' in the same clause. 5 As this is referring to a PAST time, you need the third conditional. This is formed: If + subject + HAD(N'T) + past participle..... subject + would(n't) have + past participle. In this case, grammatically both 'hadn't taken' and 'had taken' fit. However, in the context only the NEGATIVE works. Remember, you shouldn't put 'if' and 'would' in the same clause.
