MIXED CONDITIONALS

EXPLANATION IN SPANISH

EXPLANATION IN ENGLISH

This type of mixed conditional refers to an unreal past condition and its probable result in the present. These sentences express a situation which is contrary to reality both in the past and in the present. In these mixed conditional sentences, the time is the past in the "if" clause and in the present in the main clause.

If I had studied I would have my driving license. 

(but I didn't study and now I don't have my license)

These mixed conditional sentences can also refer to an unreal present situation and its probable (but unreal) past result. 

If I was a good cook, I'd have invited them to lunch.

Present: I'm not a good cook

Past: I would probably not have invited them to lunch
