7th YEAR: CONDITIONAL SENTENCES.

MIXED CONDITIONALS

Past Condition / Present Result

The  one has a condition in the past and a present result. We use it to express that if something had been different in the past there would be a present result.
For example: if we hadn't missed our flight we'd be in Spain now.
The structure is: If + past perfect, would (could, might) + infinitive.

Present Condition / Past Result

The next one has a present condition and a past result. We use it to express that due to certain present conditions something already happened in the past.
For example: if I was more diligent, I would've finished my degree at university. The meaning is: I am not a diligent person and because of this present condition I have never finished my degree.
The structure is: if + past simple, would (could, might) have + past participle.
