By examining carefully the conjugation of the verb through this mood,
you will find it very easy; thus, you will notice, that whenever any of
the auxiliaries, _may, can_, or _must_, is placed before a verb, that
verb is in the potential mood, _present_ tense; _might, could, would_,
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.
