Can someone show me some HTML layout without using tables?

The third column should span the first two “rows” and then span the next three “rows”. The first “column” should be the same width
I ask about this because the argument “Tables are dead for layout”
UPDATE: markup content has checkboxes, text fields and text fields
CONCLUSION:
It was very instructive. I believe that I have been clarified by this philosophical question.
It seems to me that the general rule should be: Do not use tables for your entire site if there are sections similar to the table, and then use the table. The extremes “NEVER USE A TABLE” seem impractical and theoretical. Likewise, overuse of tables makes maintenance difficult, and working with 4-deep nested tables can be a real pain.
So, since the above layout looks like a table, I'm going to use a table. :)
