Grammar 一問

我睇, 你句句子個 can't 字用錯了...
應是:
I didn't go to John's party. You couldn't have seen me there.
(我沒去john 的party, 你不可能在那兒見過我)
唔用can't 因是過去式.
之後用have seen 係因為對話人之前說我在party 見過你
詳細文法唔知點解釋, 不過用法就係咁講...

應該係 see
意思係, 我冇去john's party, 咁就自然你見唔到我~

而且, modal verb 後面一定+一個 bare infinitive... 即係 個verb 唔需要轉任何tense/part of speech...
所以答案係see

have seen
because: You can't have seen me there = 你无可能见到我
You can't see me there = 你唔可以见到我 (which doesn't make sense with the sentence)

The answer is:
I didn't go to John's party. You can"t see me there.

Reason:
After model verbs(can could may might must), we use the original form of verbs.

Examples:
1. May I go to the washroom?
2. Must we follow all the regulations?
3. She could make some sounds, but not sing.

其實條問題本身都有少少問題
既然佢俾你既timing既past tesnse
點解佢之後個句會用present tense呢??
應該改為:
I didn't go to John's party. You couldn't see me there. Could you?

The answer is see
I didn't go to John's party. You can't see me there.

因為can之後用現在式
Eg, I can buy a cup of coffee to you.
I can borrow a book to you.
He has no money, he cannot buy the toy.

The right answer should be ----I didn't go to John's party. You couldn't see me there
