- modal + have + past participle = the same meaning, but about the past
- p. 262 paragraph 4 - in the past
- Martha looked pretty unhappy. She and George must have been / could have been having another one of their fights. I don’t know what the problem was that time. It might have been because George was always working on his car. It might have been because Martha wanted them to spend every weekend at her mother’s house. It couldn’t have been about money, though. That’s the fight they had had the week before. They must not have had a very happy marriage.
