Might have had ...

Might have had something to do with it.

Can you give me 1-2 examples of a sentence where I can use the above phrase? I'm asking because I'm not sure I understand that phrase. E.G. My watch stopped working. Might have had something to do with it. Is it OK?

  • Such dropping of the subject of "might" can occur in casual speech, but it is not properly correct English.
