Passive voice










1. Identify the subject, verb, direct object and indirect object of the active sentence.

2. Make the first object (or the second one!) the subject of the passive sentence.

3. Which is the verbal tense of the verb in the active voice? --> Put this tense in the verb to be.

4. Write the verb of the active voice in past participle.

5. The rest of the sentence continues the same.

6. Add by + the active subject (if it's relevant!).

* Take care with subject pronouns and object pronouns!

Third Conditional: no possibility or past unreal








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 not happen. 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. :


Condition
Result

Past Perfect
WOULD HAVE + Past Participle
If
I had won the lottery
I would have bought a car.

Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true because it is finished. We use the past perfect tense to talk about the impossible past condition. We use WOULD HAVE + past participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing about the third conditional is that both the condition and result are impossible now.
Sometimes, we use should havecould havemight have instead of would have, for example: If you had bought a lottery ticket, you might have won.
Look at some more examples in the tables below:

IF
Condition
Result

past perfect
WOULD HAVE + past participle
If
I had seen Mary
I would have told her.
If
Tara had been free yesterday
I would have invited her.
If
they had not passed their exam
their teacher would have been sad.
If
it had rained yesterday
would you have stayed at home?
If
it had rained yesterday
what would you have done?

             Result
IF
           Condition
WOULD HAVE + past participle

past perfect
I would have told Mary
if
I had seen her.
I would have invited Tara
if
she had been free yesterday.
Their teacher would have been sad
if
they had not passed their exam.
Would you have stayed at home
if
it had rained yesterday?
What would you have done
if
it had rained yesterday?
