Conditional vs Perfect Future

Arturo tuvo un final triste. -Tendría un final triste pero vivió una vida de lujo.-Arturo had a sad end. -He may have had a sad end but he lived a luxurious life.I’m having trouble knowing when to use the conditional vs Perfect Future. Could you also say: “Habrá tenido un final triste”? Thanks!

In this case, both the perfect future and the conditional can be used with exactly the same effect. We should have linked the two lessons to make this connection. They are now connected.
