modal verb + have + past participle
When you use perfect modal verbs, you are describing some past action that did or didn't happen. Here is an example:
She should have done her homework.
The main verb in the above sentence, "do," is in the form of the past participle after the verb "have." She should have done her homework, but she didn't do it. This is an action that did not happen in the past. Let's look at some more examples:
I could have gotten a job at that company. (but I didn't)
She should have stopped at the light. (but she didn't)
If he had a car, he wouldn't have walked. (but he did)
