grammaticality - What type of if-conditional is: “A shop offered us a reduction if we paid in cash.”?

What type of if-conditional is this sentence?





A shop offered us a reduction if we paid in cash.




As far as I know, the only right conditional sentences are these four:



Zero Conditional:




  • A shop offer us a reduction if we pay in cash.




First Conditional:




  • A shop will offer us a reduction if we pay in cash.



Second Conditional:





  • A shop would offer us a reduction if we paid in cash.



Third Conditional:




  • A shop would have offered us a reduction if we have paid in cash.



But I cannot tell which of those four it is.
