He had better have kept it quiet.

I read it in one of the threads. EMS had written "he had better have kept it quiet." I am confused I mean I know we say "you had better do this" but with "present perfect". What does it mean? Could you please explain?

It means he should have kept it quiet.

I am not a teacher.

tufguy, you can shorten emsr2d2's username to ems, but not EMS.
