Hello,
Consider the given heading: What would have happened if....? This exercise is about third conditional.
1. Dinosaurs hadn't become extinct.
Using the third conditional I'd say: If dinosaurs hadn't become extinct, humankind wouldn't have evolved the way it did.
However, is it correct to say: If dinosaurs hadn't become extinct, we wouldn't be alive.
The first example is third conditional (past unreal situation), but how is the second one classified?
Thank you.
