Hi Angelo,

Yes, you’re right, that should say third conditional, thanks for pointing that out, apologies for any confusion caused!

Note, the future perfect in the past is also used as part of second conditional statements. This is a specific construction that demonstrates a past possibility.

If we had caught our train, we would have been home by now.

Isn’t this an example of the third conditional? Thanks.
Regards,
Angelo Pepe
