Answer 2

Welcome to the forum. I assume your first language is Spanish, but if you are learning how to use conditionals your English is at least intermediate. Can you add your language levels? If you are an 'hispanohablante' your Spanish is fluent. Your title is 'third conditional'. For a third conditional it is something that happened in the past and is impossible now. The usual construction is: If + past perfect tense + would [could or might] have + past participle If ... is different to what actually happened and would is imagining a different result. You can start with if followed by the phrase starting with would or could or you can turn it around and start with would and place if at the start of the second phrase.
