|| =Third Conditional = || (Si el PRIMER verbo de la oración es TO BE, se usa WERE para todas las personas) || //Si hubiese sabido que estabas enfermo, te habría ido a ver.// || //Si hubieses ahorrado tu dinero, podrías haberte comprado una computadora.// || //Si no hubieses llegado tarde al trabajo tan seguido, no te habrían despedido.// ||
 * **conditional type III ** >> **THIRD CONDITIONAL**
 * **Used to talk about unreal situations in the past, that is, things which did not happen in the past.** (utilizado para expresar situaciones irreales – que nunca sucedieron – en el pasado y, en general, dentro de un contexto de crítica, queja o remordimiento). En español tienes una construcción similar por lo cual este condicional no debería resultar complicado.
 * **IF + PAST PERFECT + CONDITIONAL PERFECT **
 * If FIRST verb in the sentence is TO BE, WERE is used for all persons.**
 * **If I had known that you were sick, I would have gone to see you.**
 * The real situation was that I didn't know you were sick. So I say **If I had known...** When you are talking about the past, you use the Past Perfect (**I had known**) after **IF**. ||
 * **If you had saved your money, you could have bought a laptop.**
 * The real situation was that you didn't save your money. So they say **If you had saved...** When you are talking about the past, you use the Past Perfect (**I had known**) after **IF**. ||
 * **If you hadn't been late for work so often, they wouldn't have fired you.**
 * The real situation was that you wasn't early for work. So they say **If you hadn't been late...** When you are talking about the past, you use the Past Perfect (**I had known**) after **IF**. ||
 * **NOTE**: You can replace **IF** (si) by **UNLESS** (a menos que) in the examples above.
