When we talk about mixed conditionals we refer to conditional sentences that combine two different conditional patterns. We are going to revise the combination of 2nd and 3rd conditionals.

Third / Second conditional: Used to contrast events in the past with the present result:

IF + PAST PERFECT, + WOULD - If he had not run after the thieves, he would be alive now.

Second / Third conditional: Used to contrast a present situation with an event in the past.

IF + PAST SIMPLE, + WOULD HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE: If you weren't so lazy, you would have arrived on time.
