Ça a dû être vs Ça doit avoir été

Bonjour forum et les experts

Mon question se réfère à la phrase 'Ça a dû être particulièrement difficile pour la pauvre Christelle' Je n'ai aucun problème avec le phrase. Je demande juste si c'est également possible de l'écrire, 'Ça doit avoir été particulièrement difficile pour la pauvre Christelle'?

Et si no, pourquoi?

J'apprécierai votre aide

A suggestionI wish there were tests comprised of questions from all the levels -- I find that knowing which material was covered in each section is helping me unconsciously "game" the test. It would be a great way to review all the material (or perhaps just A0-B2).

Je ne mange pas de poisson.

If le la les don't change with negation, should the above general statement have 'le poisson ' instead of 'de' ?

Just found the above link which answers the above query. To save time, a few sentences on this subject would enhance this lesson considerably.

Etre en retard versus Avoir de retard

I was asked to write "I am 10 minutes late" and I wrote "Je suis dix minutes en retard". I was told that this is incorrect, and the correct answer is "J'ai dix minutes de retard". Don't they both mean the same thing? Was I wrong?

I'm a bit confused by what "on their own" means,especially when, in an example, "le jour suivant" isn't used on its own. I read the Q&A, and I'm still confused. Which sentence structures are correct for which phrases?
