would come

might have come

should come

might come

- The original sentence uses "may come," implying the present or future possibility of coming, which doesn't fit the context of "last night."

- Option 1: "would come” suggests an expectation or habitual action but doesn't align with the past possibility.

- Option 2: "might have come" correctly expresses uncertainty about an event that possibly occurred in the past.

- Option 3: "should come" suggests obligation or advice and doesn't match past tense use.

- Option 4: "might come" indicates future possibility and doesn't fit with "last night."
