Dear native English speakers,
Would (a) and (b) be used with almost the same meaning? Would (c) be used as well? If so, would it have a different meaning?
(a) They can't/cannot have played a game in the heavy rain.
(b) They couldn't have played a game in the heavy rain.
(c) They must not have played a game in the heavy rain.
Thanks in advance.
