In a text I was reading I stumbled upon a use of the conditional perfect tense in spanish. The grammer book I have explains it as:
Probability and conjecture in the past is expressed with the conditional perfect.
Habríamos caminado unas diez cuadras. / We had probably walked ten blocks.
¿Habrían depositado el dinero? / I wonder if they had deposited the money.
I know that another way to convey the same meaning is with the future perfect tense. (probability and conjecture in the past)
Larry no respondió. Se habrá ido.
So, could they be used interchengeable?
thank you.
