For the third conditional
Supposing my friend didn't send me a promised text by mobile and I run into him today,
Can I say to him,
1]" You could have sent the text to me yesterday"
2]"You could send the text to me yesterday"
3]"You might have been busy yesterday"
4]" You must have been busy yesterday"
5]"You should have been busy yesterday"
I'm not sure whether 2] can be used or not. But except for 2] I think every sentence above can be used. Could you teach me which one I can't use.
Thank you in advance for your teaching.
