Logical Conclusions -> in the Past Events

Pattern

Logical Conclusions – in the Past Events
Important: must is a modal. Must followed by the verb word have and a participle expresses a logical conclusions based of evidence. The conclution is about an event that happened in the past.
Remember that an observation in the present may serve as the basis for an conclution about something that happened in the past.

S + must have + participle + past time

For example, “here is a message on My desk (last night) .” It may be concluded that “His friend must have called last night.” (To convince)

Example: My friend must have called last night
Avoid using should or can instead of must. Avoid using a verb word instead of have and participle when referring to events in the past.
