Shaky on the rule?
Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Third conditional lesson — The third conditional (if + past perfect, would have + past participle) imagines a different past: 'If you had told me, I would have helped.' Use it for unreal past situations and their unreal past results — typically regret, criticism and relief. Both events are finished, so neither can be changed now.
