PAST MODAL VERBS

index, Level C1, modal verbs
Past modal verbs are must, could, might and may with have + past participle to talk
about suppositions or speculations regarding a past event. This is called the modal perfect tense.

Here are some examples:

The cat has escaped – I must have left the window open by mistake.
Claire has left her handbag here – she must have left in a rush.
I don’t know why he did that, he could have hurt himself.

“May” and “might” are actually very similar although some people say that the past modal form of “may”
has a slightly higher level of probability.

Peter must have bought a book. (buy – bought – bought)

We use the past modal verb form of MAY and MIGHT to speculate about the past
She may have lost the bus. (lose – lost – lost)

Use MIGHT to talk about something in the past which didn’t happen

You might have practiced in the gym. ( practice – practiced – practiced)

The past modal form with COULD is used to talk about CAPABILITY in the past

They could have learnt English. (learn – learnt – learnt)
