Third Conditional
for no possibility
If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.
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 nothappen. 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.
Last week you bought a lottery ticket. But you did not win. :-(
