My father and I we're discussing about the third conditional. The sentence is:
"If I didn't studied before, I wouldn't know anything of this".
The construction of the 3rd conditional is:
if + past simple + would/wouldn't + *infinitive
My father says the correct sentence is:
"If I hadn't studied before, I wouldn't know anything of this".
And I say the correct sentence is:
"If I didn't studied before, I wouldn't know anything of this".
What's the correct sentence?
