Jun 10, 2022 at 4:22 comment added MarcInManhattan @DARKDRAGON Yes, that's right.
Jun 9, 2022 at 19:23 comment added DARK DRAGON So this is correct, by the end of this year(start of 2023),I might have completed learning English.(might shows that I'm not quite sure I will have completed learning by the end of this year.)
Jun 9, 2022 at 19:01 comment added DARK DRAGON So , overall "must ,should ,may might have done" can be used as "will have done" ( as finished action in the future )
Jun 9, 2022 at 14:39 comment added MarcInManhattan @DARKDRAGON "You must / may / should have completed the task by the end of this month" are all correct. For example: "Eurystheus says that Hercules must have finished cleaning the stables by the end of this month."
Jun 9, 2022 at 12:50 comment added DARK DRAGON Really?,I don't know, somehow we can say :you need to have completed the task by the end of this month,(and also have to have completed) but must, may ,should have completed don't works here ? .
