Lesson 1 · 35 min

should have + past participle

Objective

Listen to the model

should have asked, should have written = a better action that didn't happen. shouldn't have put = a bad action that happened.

Lesson 2 · 40 min

The third conditional

Objective

Imagine a different past.

The lesson

The third conditional: If + past perfect (had + past participle), would have + past participle. If I had checked the tyres, I would have seen the problem. It talks about an imaginary past: it didn't happen.

Worked example

Last month, the delivery arrived late because the driver didn't check the traffic. If he had checked the app, he would have taken another road. If the customer had known, she would have waited at home. Luckily, nobody was angry.

Listen to the model

If he had checked → he would have taken: neither action happened. It's an imaginary past.
