I found this from my book, \"ractical English Usage\" b M.S., 3rd edition
359. must(2): deduction
(concluding that something is _certain_)
...
...
4. That must have been nice
We can use _must have + past participle_ to express *certainty* about
the past.
...
_Can_ is used in questions and negatives.
-- Where can John have put the matches? He can't have thrown them away. |
