Complete the amateur detective's explanation of how she cracked the case.
The notorious jewel thief _____________________________ if he _________________________ so loudly while hiding in the closet last night.

The correct answers are would have escaped and hadn't sneezed.

You can flip the order of a conditional sentence! When the main clause comes first, it still uses would have + past participle (would have escaped), and the "if" clause still uses the past perfect (hadn't sneezed). Notice that we don't use a comma when "if" is in the middle of the sentence.
