Sentence Structure

The way we arrange the ideas in a sentence is based on what we would like emphasize in it. However while doing so we need to make sure the expression is idiomatic. In that conversation, (I think) you would/might/could have noticed that I didn't have much for myself.

tracyteoCan I put phrases in the beginning of a sentence instead of at the end?

You often can.

I think you are trying to say something like one of these:

In that conversation you may have noticed that I didn't have much to say for myself.
In that conversation you may have noticed that I didn't sa

Hi CalifJimPlease help me with this.In that conversation you may have noticed that I didn't have much to say.Here use of 'might' as I have done, does not make the idea relevant in the present.Am I correct?

'might' can replace 'may' with no change of meaning at all.

With modals the use of 'have' after the modal is often used to portray the situation as past.

You may notice / You might notice ~ Now.
You may have noticed / You might have noticed ~ Then. In the past.

Thank you CJ
Just one more:
Then does it also imply may in direct speech need not be changed to might in indirect speech?

vsureshindirect speech

No. Indirect (or "reported") speech works differently. The strict rule is that 'may' is only possible in direct speech (whereas 'might' is possible both in direct and indirect speech). Both 'may' and 'might' become 'might' in indirect speech.

Robert is speaking. He says, "Henry may want another piece of cake."

Later

CJ,thank you very much for this detailed explanation.
