106 may, might, can, could: possibility in the past
Употребление модальных глаголов "may", "might", и "could" при сообщении о возможности чего-либо в прошлом1)а) В предположениях о том, что нечто, возможно, имело место в прошлом, используется конструкция may/might/could + perf. infinitive (см. Perfect infinitive and Perfect infinitive passive).The president may/might/could have testified falsely about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky — Возможно, президент дал ложные показания относительно своих отношений с Моникой Левински.
Some tea may/might/could have remained in the teapot — Возможно, в чайнике оставалось еще немного чая.
б) Конструкция can + perf. infinitive не используется в утвердительных предложениях.*
He can have done this.She can't have left this place by land. — Не может быть, чтобы она уехала отсюда по суше.
2) При описании события, которое могло бы произойти в прошлом, но в действительности не произошло, употребляется конструкция might/could + perf. infinitive (см. Perfect infinitive and Perfect infinitive passive).Конструкция may + perf. infinitive в этом случае не используется.The child might/could have got lost but in fact he came home earlier than others — Ребенок мог заблудиться, но на самом деле он пришел домой раньше, чем все остальные.
If we had taken the other road we might/could have arrived earlier — Если бы мы поехали по другой дороге, мы, возможно, приехали бы раньше.
3) Разница между сочетаниями may not/might not + perf. infinitive и can't/could not+ perf. infinitive состоит в следующем:may not/might not + perf. infinitive указывает на возможность того, что событие, обозначаемое инфинитивом, не имело места (may not/mightn't + A = возможно, не A).can't/couldn't + perf. infinitive указывает на невозможность того, что событие, обозначаемое инфинитивом, имело место (can't/couldn't + A = невозможно, чтобы A).You might not have seen him — Возможно, вы его не видели.
You could not have seen him. He died before you were born — Вы не могли его видеть. Он умер до того, как вы родились.
