What is the past tense of must, in English?

Check out the table on this page. In cmon's example, certainty was being expressed, so the past tense is must have + past participle.

Thank you Rusty!!!!!!! :):):D

I wish I had had the convenience of internet back in '79. :-)

Does debía haber tenido have any meaning?

Por supuesto. Debía is past tense of deber. :)

Should've had some meaning.

Must've had some meaning. (however, this one I always took it as "Debe haber tenido...")
