🔰Third conditional (if...)🔰

🔰Third conditional (if...)🔰 ✍🏻We use the third conditional (if + past perfect, would + have + past participle) to talk about something in the past that did not happen. ✍🏻How is the third conditional different from the other conditionals? ✍🏻This is the way we imagine how things could have been different in the past. If something had been different, something else would have happened. Notice that both the condition and the result are impossible now. ✍🏻If I’d known, I would have worn something nicer. ✍🏻In this case, Amy didn’t know about the party so she didn’t wear special clothes. ✍🏻OK, so the bit after if is different to what really happened? ✍🏻Yes, then the next clause is imagining the result in the past, which didn’t happen, of course. The if clause can be at the beginning or at the end of the sentence. ✍🏻I definitely would’ve remembered if you’d told me! ✍🏻So Alfie didn’t remember because Ollie didn’t tell him. ✍🏻Exactly.

Physics Notes on Electricity.

Electricity: Electricity deals with the motion of the electric charge.Electric charge is a scalar quantity which unit is  Coulomb .Electricity produced by the friction between two bodies is called  static electricity or frictional electricity e.g. generation of electric charge on rubbing the plastic comb with dry hair. Coulomb Law: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charge points is directly proportional to the scalar multiplication of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Electric Field: The space in the surrounding of any charge in which its influence can be experienced by other charge is called  electric field. Electric field intensity (E) at any point is defined as the electrostatic force acting per unit positive test charge at that point. Its unit is  Newton/coulomb .E=F/qElectric field intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r from the point charge. Electri
