The conditional perfect tense is used for an action someone would have done in the past. This describes what one would have done differently or how something could have occurred differently if the events had been different.
Conditional Perfect Tense follows the pattern: would/could/might/should + have + past participle form of the verb
It is used in the main clause of conditional sentences type III. Conditional Sentences Type III follows the pattern:
> IF + past perfect..., + main clause (conditional perfect tense).
> Main Clause (conditional perfect tense) + if + past perfect...
Examples:
> Steve would have eaten all the egg tarts if his sister hadn't stopped him.

> Sofia might have finished her homework if she hadn't chatted with her friends online while doing it.
