Could Have / Must Have / Should Have Would Have / Might Have


Could Have/ Might Have + V3


They mean to say that if we had wanted something in the past, we had had the opportunity to do it.

- I could have moved out when I was 18, but I didn't want to leave my family. (I chose to stay)
- I might have moved out, but I didn't want to leave my family. (I chose to stay)

- I could have gone out with my friends but I wanted to watch the soccer game. (I could but I didn't go with them)
- I might have gone out with my friends but I wanted to watch the soccer game. 

In both sentences, either action was possible for me but I stayed home to watch the game, I may be watching the game at the moment while my friends are out or perhaps this was yesterday.
