Read and remember.

Mixed conditionals are conditional sentences that combine two different types of conditional patterns.

The most common combination is Type 3 in the if-clause (if + past perfect) and Type 2 in the main clause (would + infinitive). We use it to talk about a past event and its present result.

Examples:

If the Maya had predicted weather changes better, their civilisation would probably survive today.
If Guttenberg hadn’t invented printing with movable type, people wouldn’t be able to publish so many books now.

We can also use Type 3 in both clauses (if + past perfect, would have + past participle). This structure is used when we regret a past action or inaction.

Examples:

If the Maya had predicted weather changes better, their civilisation would probably have survived.
If Guttenberg hadn’t invented printing with movable type, people wouldn’t have been able to publish so many books by now.
