MIXED CONDITIONER
The "mixed type conditional" is used
to refer to a time in the past and a situation that has not yet concluded in
the present. It is based on facts that are opposed to what is being expressed. The
mixed conditional is used to refer to a condition of the past that is not real
and its probable outcome in the present. In these sentences, the "if"
proposition adopts the "past perfect" and the main clause the
"present conditional".
Proposición "if"
|
Proposición principal
|
If + past perfect o simple past
|
present conditional o perfect conditional
|
If this thing had happened
|
that thing would happen. (tal cosa no ocurrió, así que tal
otra no está ocurriendo)
|
If I had worked harder at school
|
I would have a better job now.
|
If we had looked at the map
|
we wouldn't be lost.
|
If you weren't afraid of spiders
|
you would have picked it up and put it outside.

In a conditional sentence, there is a possibility that the two propositions that compose it refer to different periods or moments. The result is a sentence of mixed conditional type ("mixed conditional"). There are two kinds of mixed conditional sentences.
CURRENT RESULT OF A CONDITION LOCATED IN THE PAST
TRAINING
In this type of mixed conditional sentence, the verb tense
of the "if" sentence is the "past perfect" and the verb of
the main clause goes in "present conditional".
Proposición "if" (condición)
|
Proposición principal (resultado)
|
If + past perfect
|
present conditional
|
If this thing had happened
|
that thing would happen.
|
As with all conditional sentences, the order of propositions is not fixed. It may be necessary to modify pronouns and punctuation by changing the order of the clauses but the meaning of the sentence is the same.
