There's an example:
'As he (swim) across that river (get) cramp and (certainly drown) if John (not dive) in and (pull) him out.'
The answers are: was swimming, got, would have certainly drowned, didn't dive, pulled.
Why should I use past simple in the last 2 gaps? Isn't it the 3rd conditional? Is it incorrect to use: 'hadn't dived' 'pulled'?
