							| Third conditional question 
 |  
							| Hi, yesterday I was teaching the 3rd conditional to my students and one asked me if it was ok to say: 
 How would you have felt if she had broken up with you?
 
 I think it is correct but I �m not sure. Would you tell me if I �m ok or not?
 
 Thank you
 
 Bere

							| I don �t think a comma is required when the if clause comes second. I think it �s right with or without it in this case.   Bruce |  26 May 2010
