Lesson 42 drill — Third conditional & regrets: should have, I wish I had...

Unreal past: IF + HAD + past participle, ... WOULD HAVE + past participle. Both parts are imaginary — neither happened.

Which is the correct third conditional?

Which expresses regret about a single past action, without a full if-clause?

Which is a correctly formed negative regret with 'wish'?

Which sentence means 'she did NOT miss the train, and did NOT meet him'?

Best correction: 'If I would have known...' should be:

If I ____ known, I would have told you.

I should ____ booked the tickets earlier.

I wish I ____ studied harder for that exam.

You ____ have told him — it wasn't your secret.

If she hadn't missed the train, she ____ have met him.
