How to use MIGHT in the Future in the Past Tense...?
Structure of a sentence:
Future in the past tense
In the total 14 tenses we
covered only two time periods they are 1. Present Perfect tense and 2. Present
Perfect Continuous tense. Now in this post we will learn about simple future
tense which is used in the past. In this type of sentences for an action we have
in mind; action has not started; action will take place only at a future time.
So when we frame a sentence like “I will launch a program tomorrow”, in which we
look into the future from the present time.
In other case, we imagine
that we live in the past time period and see towards the future, from that past
time point, so that action is in our mind only. We call such a tense as Future
in the past tense.
Some of the examples which show the time period in which the
auxiliary for this tense is “might have” and the verb in the PP form.
1. This problem might have solved if you had written in step by
