This worksheet is designed for A2–B1 level learners and focuses on the use of the third conditional through the powerful true story of Bernard Garrett and Joe Morris, two Black businessmen in 1960s America who tried to fight racism by helping Black communities access loans and real estate. Their story is also featured in the 2020 film *The Banker*, and this worksheet explores what could have happened if they had not been stopped.

The resource includes a short reading text written in simplified language, followed by a vocabulary matching activity, comprehension questions, and a clear grammar explanation of the third conditional. Special attention is given to the difference between *would have*, *could have*, and *might have*, making the grammar accessible and relevant. Learners then complete both controlled and open-ended grammar practice to reinforce the structure and use it in context.

This worksheet is ideal for students preparing for B1-level exams, as well as for teachers looking to combine grammar, critical thinking, and real-world topics. It encourages learners to reflect on missed opportunities, social justice, and the power of language to imagine a different past.
