Say what you see. Think about what this place might have been like in the past. The following modal verbs used to talk about the past: might have (possibility) could have (possibility) must have (certainty something was true) can’t have (certainty something wasn’t true)

It might have been a house. People who lived there must have been rich. It might have belonged to an important person (politician, businessman etc.) It can’t have been in the centre of the city because it’s now covered with plants. It must have had many rooms and a big garden. It might have been abandoned because it was haunted (my personal favourite!)
