In French:
J'aurais mangé = I'd have eaten
The auxiliary "avoir" caries Past Tense, Perfective Aspect, and Conditionnal
Mode
But this is the only only one I can think of since the other French examples
I know carry only 2 of them with the third represented by a zero marking,
like "J'aurai mangé" = "I'll have eaten" that carries future tense and
perfect aspect and in which the indicative mood is implied but not marked
