My father has a lot of work.He.....come home late.
(must-might)
1-My answer is might.
2-I used to use the verb be after must in present deduction ,but can must be followed by any other verb in present deduction such as go,come,buy ...?
 
It's not a very good question, but your answer works. With answer 2, you don't have to use be after must for deduction, and if you do, you'd use must be coming.

Please edit your post to fix the multiple spacing errors. I've marked the last two.
 
The first thing that came to mind for me was comes. I would say He might come home late if somebody had come by to see him.

What's present deduction?

That means I can put any verb after it in present or future deduction!

Only if you assume that things can be done for no reason. Give us some examples to assess.

I myself think we should not put any verbs after must except be in present deduction.
We may use some very few verbs after must in present deduction,that is what I want to know,.
Do these two examples work?
1-My father has a lot of work.He must come

2-My father is always late for work.He must buy a car.

Fix the errors I marked above. I won't answer any more of your questions that contain similar mistakes.

Which errors?

They are the same as yours.
You are free to answer or not.

I've re-posted my quote of your post with the spacing errors marked in blue in case you can't distinguish the red color I used initially. Can you see them now?

It's frustrating to make corrections and see the same errors continue in your posts — but perhaps I've been using a highlight color that you don't perceive. A very high percentage of males have at least some degree of color blindness.

Do not worry. I am not a male.
I am not just a male.I am a super-male.

Well, females aren't immune to color blindness, but it's a lot rarer among your sex.

Anyway, I'm confident that you'll be able to master the rules of spacing around punctuation marks. Incorrect spacing doesn't usually make a text incomprehensible, but it makes it harder to read. You'll quickly get into the habit of tapping the spacebar after every punctuation mark that requires a space after it.
 
When making present deductions, it's very common to use the verb be after must, but other stative verbs are also common.

It's also possible, but not very common, to use other (non-stative) verbs in certain cases.

abo.omar, I have deleted your last two posts because in the first you failed to put a space after the comma and in the second you put a space before the comma. I will continue to delete your posts if you fail to heed our advice about the rules of spacing around punctuation. After 258 posts, you really should have learnt how to do it correctly.

No, you are not honest enough.If you know that I can not do that,why do you insist on your aggressive behavior?
