Conditionals
Mixed conditionals combine tenses from different conditional types to express more complex relationships between past and present. Third-to-second (past → present): if + past perfect, would + base verb. "If I had studied medicine, I would be a doctor now." Second-to-third (present → past): if + past simple, would have + past participle. "If she were more careful, she wouldn't have made that mistake."
