Usage of tense
Sir, I got to know what third conditional sentences are but we cant they also be said with would and didn't instead of would have and had?
"If I had not slept till 9 Am I would have caught the train. "
How about this way? If I didn't sleep till 9AM I would catch the train. "
Thank you so much for the link. I think I am a step closer to getting my doubt cleared. Very kind of you, sir.
