or _should_, renders it in the potential mood, _imperfect_ tense; _may,
can_, or _must have_, the _perfect_ tense; and _might, could, would_, or
_should have_, the _pluperfect_ tense.

NOTE. The perfect participle of a regular verb, corresponds exactly
with the imperfect tense; yet the former may, at all times, be
distinguished from the latter, by the following rule: In
composition, the imperfect tense of a verb _always_ has a
nominative, either expressed or implied: the perfect participle
_never_ has.
