Past Modals for Speculation
Speculating about the past, that is, to make guesses about what happened with varying degrees of certainty or to say what the speaker thinks is possible or logical.
• • • • •
Form
- Subject + must / may / might / could + have + past participle
They must (I bet) have gotten tied up in traffic.
She could have tried to call.
They may be in love.
They might have had a fight.
The negative couldn’t have suggests strong certainty.
- Notice the difference in meaning between couldn’t have and might / may not have.
She couldn’t have called. (= It’s not possible that she called.) She might not have called. (= It’s possible she didn’t call.)
Common errors with past modals
Ss sometimes use the base form of the verb instead of the past participle when using past modals. A past modal is always followed by a past participle ( e.g., They could have tried to call. NOT They could have try to call.)
