Deepen your understanding of modal verbs by practicing advanced structures expressing past probability, regret, speculation, and deduction.
Read each sentence carefully and complete it with the correct modal verb form. Pay attention to context: is it about a past action, a deduction, a regret, or a possibility?
This part focuses on modal perfect forms (e.g., "should have done", "must have been") and contrasts in meaning. Learn how modal verbs change nuance when combined with have + past participle.
Modal perfects express how certain or uncertain we are about past events, or whether we regret or imagine them. This exercise helps you distinguish between logical deduction ("must have"), possibility ("might have"), and missed obligation ("should have").
