Yea Gary! You would not have been able to answer this question six months ago!

Ticce,

*I can have done it is not correct. As my signature says, I can't tell you which type of conditional "I could have done it" is, but you use it when something did not happen in the past, but if certain conditions had been different, that thing could have happened after all. Gary sa
