Perfect modals are a grammatical structure that combines modal verbs (such as "can", "could", "may", "might", "shall", "should", "will", "would", "must") with the perfect aspect ("have" + past participle of the main verb). These constructions are used to express past situations related to possibilities, abilities, permissions, obligations, and more. Let's explore how they are used and their various applications in the English language.
