might have
Could have done
Might have expresses possibility about past events, often with uncertainty or speculation: She might have left already, They might have won if the weather had been better.
In casual speech, it contracts to might've, frequently misspelled as "might of." The phrase also suggests gentle reproach: You might have told me sooner.
