Grammar rule

Grammar from units 4–6

Unit	Grammar	Example
4	guessing about the past: must have, might / may / could have, can't / couldn't have + past participle	The driver must have read the number wrong. It might have been damaged.
5	wish / if only + past simple, past perfect or would; I'd rather and it's time + past simple	I wish they would check the address. If only I had seen the driver! It's time somebody cut them back.
6	reporting verbs and their patterns	She apologized for the mistake, promised to talk to the driver and suggested putting a bigger number on the door.

Three things to watch: have + past participle after must, might and can't (must have gone, not must have went); no would in a wish about yourself (I wish I could, I wish I had); and suggest + -ing or suggest that, never suggest someone to.
