(negative to affirmative) "we could not but pocket the insult"

English Language & Usage Asked by Md. Sohrab Hossain on April 28, 2021

When we do negative to affirmative, we always use ‘must’ in the place of ‘can not but’. I further know that we cannot use ‘must’ in the place of ‘could not but’ because ‘could not but’ is a past form. So can I use ‘had to’ in the place of ‘could not but’?
