I came across a grammatical construction in books that I have not heard in conversation before. I refered to the grammar text-books I have but didn't get a clear answer. There was a short passage didn't completly cover it.
"He can't have said it."
OR
"Can he have done that?" It would mean "I don't believe you. He didn't do it."?
Is it used in conditionals? Do we use it in an effermative sentence?
