Do "might have" and "could have" have two different meanings?
First meaning: Let's say I come my home and see my brother isn't at home. And I say "He might/could have gone to a cinema." (In this case, I don't know whether my brother went to cinema, I just guesses he went to cinema)
Second meaning: Let's say I'm at home. And my brother comes home. And he tells he went to a cinema. And I say "You might/could have gone to a theatre" (In this case, I know he went to a cinema, but emphasise another choice he could do.
So in that case, do "might have" and "could have" have two different meanings?
