| Nov 14, 2020 at 15:06 | comment | added | Colin Fine | I don't think you mean "passive voices", @M.N; I think you mean "conditional clauses". And yes, from questions on this site, I have learnt that there is such a classification (though I've never come across 0 before). But to most English speakers, even if they have studied grammar, "third conditional" means nothing. | |
