I know might have is used for past.
But might compasses present and future both. So I'm not sure if this construction is correct but I can't think of any else.
"Hey I might have fallen asleep by the time you get back from online school."
I've learned in school we use will have to describe an event that is expected or planned to happen before a time of reference in the future.
But when I have to show some uncertainty. Can I use might?
