句型公式:in case 引导状语从句
解读
in case引导目的状语从句时,意为“以备,以防”;引导条件状语从句时,意为“如果,万一”;也可作副词性短语置于句末,意为“以防万一”。

in case of +n. /pron./v.-ing 如果发生某事;万一发生某事
in any case 无论如何,不管怎样
in no case 决不(置于句首时,句子用部分倒装)

句型公式:might have done 结构
解读
本句中的might have warned是might have done 结构,表示“过去本可以做而实际并没有做”;
might have done sth.还可以表示“过去或许做了某事”。
联想
其他的类似结构:
should have done sth.(过去)本该做某事(但没有做),共否定式表示“(过去)本不该做某事(而做了)”。
must have done sth.(过去)一定做了某事,是对过去发生的动作的肯定推测。
could have done sth.(过去)本能够做某事(但没有做)
couldn't have done sth.(过去)不可能做过某事
needn't have done sth.本不需要做某事(但是做了)
