There was a multiple choice test in which one of the underlined words was grammatically incorrect.
The test: "I had just woken them up, so they must be having breakfast."
I told my students that the first one, i.e. "I had" should be changed into "I have".
My student said, "What if we keep "I had" and change the verb phrase "must be having" into another structure denoting real past.
Now my question is: Can we do what he said? How?

I think it should be "I have just woken them up, so they must have be having breakfast."
