In the last article we reviewed the main types of conditional sentences. However, situations cannot always be described by using one of them. In particular, this concerns “unreal conditions”, which leads us to a new kind - mixed conditional sentences.

Third conditional + Second conditional
If you had done what I said, you would be rich now. (But the man did not take the advice and now has nothing)
Another option – the construction
Second conditional + Third conditional

If I were faster, I would have won the race. (But the man does not run fast enough at present, and therefore did not come first)
