thanx alex..Could u pls explain me, where to use WOULD HAVE,WOULD HAVE BEEN.i hope u help me.

Eddee

    Hi Eddee,

    This is a good idea for a future lesson. Thank you.

    Essentially, “would have” also expresses a type of regret in the past, and is used as a conditional. You use it to express something you would have done, if certain conditions were met. For example:

    “I would have called you if I had known you were available.”

    In this sentence, the past situation has already happened. In the past, the person you “would have” called WAS available, but you didn’t know it. IF you had known that the person was available, you WOULD HAVE called. Basically, you didn’t call in the past because you didn’t know that the person was available.

    I hope this helps!

    Alex

      Dear Alex, i really like ur video, but i have one confusion over ur comment in following example can we write both way ??
      1, I would have called u, if i had known you were available.
      2, I should have called u, if i had known you were available.

      what is diff. in both of above statements ??

      thanks Alex.

      what is the difference between “would have” and “would have been”
      “should have” and “should have been”

      gaurav

      Hello Alex , regarding should have +P.P , it’s suitable to add (to) to be (should have to +INV) like to say (I’m sorry , i shouldn’t have to be like this) or it is better to say (i shouldn’t have been like this)? Thanks for your help

      Bassam

      It’s better to say (I shouldn’t have been like this) or (I shouldn’t have to be like this)? thanks

      Bassam

      Hi Alex.My name is Valery.Im from Moldova.
      Can you help me with this exercise:
      Make up and write down two short situations using the past forms of should and ought to. Share them with the class and explain the meaning that the modals convery in each of them.
      Thank you so much!

      Valery963

      8 OUT OF 8!!!))

      AiiDA

      Alex.You are so ingenious by analyzing would have in this way it’s so nice and clear thank you so much

      Omar Abdullah85

    we can’t find the proper words to thank u mr/alex

    kotoz

Thank you for the lesson, but is only should not follow the rules in the past, how about another models verb?

aldammak

    You can also use this with other modals in the past as well. For example:

    “I might have studied.”
    “I could have been there.”
    “He may not have finished the exam.”

    However, the meanings of these sentences and their uses changes depending on the modal.

    Alex

Good class, now I know how to user should have.

Rafa

I didn´t know how to pronounce “should´ve, and shouldn´t have” so i´m getting a hand of it!!!

sergioss

QuangKy

wow nice lesson! I got it perfect. I should have known this site before so I learned it earlier.

shiori

Hello Alex!
I am really liked this lesson. And I have one quetsion about it. Why do we need to use ‘He should HAVE studied’ instead of ‘He should HAS studied’?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Pentrogona

    When you use a modal like “should,” the auxiliary verb or regular verb that follows it will always be in its base form.

    Alex

Thanks a lot for that lesson it was awesome .I am really have enjoyed to listen.I am with ”QuangKy” I want to know how to use the verb ”allow”

Tareq

thanks man it was really helpful

adil

you are the best teacher in engvideo

nabil

Hello Alex,thanks for all the lesson,i just have one question, about ”Should”,to complete a sentence with ” i should have” i have to complete it only with participles? in advance thank you very much.

Evanivaldo

    You must follow it with a past participle, yes.

    Alex

thank u can we use this subject+should+have+to+-verb

tharwat

Thanks God I found this site, and thank you very much Alex because I really need to know, how it pronounces the contractions of would, should on positive and negative sentences and many other doubts that I have about English, I’ll keep going seeing this interesting site of you guys!!! :)

Isabel

WOW , I like it so much .

almu

Thanks very much Alex,the use of “should” is one of the english grammar keys.

nabeyle

I think any of these options is not good, but the answer considered right was the last.. Now I am confuse …

Tanya came home late, so her parents were angry. She…
shouldn’t have come home.
should have come home late.
shouldn’t have make her parents angry.
shouldn’t have come home late.

mgnunes

Thank you so much.

bhaskar416

thnx so mush

ishaq

Please help me. Could you please show me the difference in meanings of 1. My eyes don’t see nobody but you 2. My eyes (do) nobody but you? I think My eyes (do) see nobody but you is correct… but some one says it’s all weird gramatically.. and so.

Viet Hung

    The first sentence is a double negative and is technically grammatically incorrect. The second sentence is also grammatically strange and incorrect. You want to say the following:

    “My eyes see nobody but you,”
    OR
    “My eyes don’t see anybody but you.”

    I hope this helps.

    Alex

Great job Rinat!
Tnank you.
I should have studied before ))))), but now its OK!
Thank you Alex!

Rinat

My scored was 8 out of 8. I dont know how the hell I did it, holy cows.

Efrain

I saw the same lesson about regrets and mistakes by teacher Ronnie. She sad that in everyday speech we replace “have” whit “of”. (For example: I should of study.) But you didnt say anithing like that. Why?

vanilija24

Hi alex
i ‘m confuse about where i can use BEING .OR BEEN can you give some lesson of these
thanks

harpreet

Hi Alex, may i know the different uses of have, had, has and their proper way of uses in a sentence. Thanks!

miketing

what’s the main clear difference between used to and would?

sibghatullah

    Both are used for regular behaviour or habits in the past, but “used to” can be used in more cases such as:

    Past location (“I used to live in Tanzania.”
    Past jobs (“I used to be a grocery store cashier.”)
    Past emotions/states (“I used to be depressed.”)

    I hope this helps a little.

    Alex

      It is good to have some hope, however your explanation is opposit to my “feeling of the use of English”.
      Could you write down three or four examples with would?
      Thanks

      MKJMKJ

Hi my friends, wow..!!

Shirley Ulloque

“I should have rang” or “I should have rung”, Which is correct?
Thanks!

Laura Leonard

i love the lesson so much. thx^^

James Yueng

I’ve got a question

She shouldn’t have come home late.
The verb “come” is not in past or past participle
Why do you write it in present?
Thanks

José Ricardo

    don’t mind anything …I was just reading the comments of the members here and found your comment .I can answer it -the three forms of come are-come/came/come-here the verb has been changed to its participle form. The rule states when a main verb is used with a helping verb like “have”, it must be expressed in participle form…hope it will help you to clarify your doubt…

Hi Alex,

Is it there any video on WOULD HAVE or WOULD HAVE BEEN ?

Ajay

Hiii alex…It’s sona from India.I watched this video and understood the content but I have a question to you-suppose I have two friends-one is mike and another is terry-I actually want to tell u a story and understand the usage of “would have pastparticiple”.suppose I have a good relationship with mike but can not get along with terry for some reasons.It may be that terry behaved very bad last week with me and was also seen with one of my friends while walking on the street.Suppose Yesterday ,I phoned my friend mike while terry was present there but I didn’t know it.We talked for 15 minutes and then put the receiver down.Meanwhile ,terry calls me today and asks me why I didn’t talk with her yesterday.Now the total story turns into a complicated state.I tell her that I saw her entering into a bar holding my friend’s hand and leaning towards his lips.It made me totally upset and very sad-felt very bad,got hurt-now if I say that “I would not have phoned mike if had known you were there” because I don’t want to talk with you anymore and end up all relationship with you.It is all over.Now tell me that have I used the conditional in correct situation and correct context. Also check the errors in my sentences and let me know about my english level..looking forward to your reply..

sona sharma

Another great lesson. Cheers.

sir,here is a sentence-‘one would have told you a fool, if u did not do that!’ hope the sentence is correct.. my question is,in what tense should i place this type of sentence? would is the past form of will and there is ‘have’ which is present in form. but what tense is it? is it past tense? if yes,then which subdivision of past tense. plz explain to me. thnk you.

afroza

hey,
i’m curious about something. why we say : She/He/It should have…… why it is not “She/He/It should HAS … ?
thanks in advance.

Hakan

    In this case, “should” is the main verb that gets inflected, so you don’t have to do anything to the second verb.

3. Have you always had hay fever?
4.I’ve had a headache since early morning.

lolita799

Hi Alex,
English is my first language yet I have a question about doesn’t, wouldn’t, won’t, and shouldn’t when it’s used in a question to reassure a statement. I was writing a comment about starvation and part my comment says, “If a girl changes her looks and [her boyfriend] likes it wouldn’t that mean he doesn’t really like her for who she is?” I don’t understand if I should use the word wouldn’t or something else. Wouldn’t means ‘would not’ but that is not what I want to use it for and if I used it I would be saying would not and does not in the same sentence which does not make sense. I’m confused. Is it proper (in informal) to say wouldn’t in such a way? What should I say instead if not and why do people say this? I’ve heard wouldn’t, shouldn’t, won’t, and doesn’t being used the same way. What about in an essay? Can you or someone else make a lesson for this, maybe it’s at a higher level or something? Please help me.

KaitlynA

Thank you! I’m your fan! See you!

Hello Alex! I’ve been wondering is there any difference between the following sentences?
“You should have come. You missed a great party.
which one is better answer:
1. If you had called me I would have come.
or 2. I would have come if you had called me.
Does the sentence changes somehow?
Thanks, Regards !

Hey Alex, I love your lessons! I just saw this sentence from CNN.

“Clearly it was reckless in terms of the driving by the engineer. There’s no way in the world he should have been going that fast into the curve.”

Could you plz explain the kind tense this is “should have been going”?

Thx a million!!

Michaelluk

I should have learned better English at school.
It will make my life much more easy )))

Yria

Thank you

Noraddeen

I am really interesting in your teaching, thank you very much.

phong.tran235

thank u for the lesson.
I just have one question.
Why u said “We should have listened to THE teacher”.
Can I say ” … to A teacher” ? or it is mistake?
Im confused…

G.Farida

in the test in the first question I’ve chosen the ” I should have waked up early ” but the correct was ” I should have woken up early ‘

Im confused because I thought the past of wake up is waked up, what is that woken up stuff ??

KimberlyTOT

Thank you, Alex.

RedLO

Excellent lesson and I had a good grade on the Quiz.

My biggest problem are prepositions! it is so difficult to get them. For instance: on the plain or in the plain or in the city on long island…

Villar

Hi Alex,
thanks a lot for this lesson, it was really useful for me. I have a doubt in the use of would in the past.
Could I say: as agreed, I would have waited for your call before leaving.

It is not clear to me how to use would in the past.

Thanks a lot for claryfing this

Danilo92

SUKRUT JAIDEE

k.abed

I don’t know what to say ! Excellent ! Thank you very much .

Soei

Could you just explain the usage of should think and should have thought?
Because should sometimes is the past of shall and sometimes is the obligation .
I couldn’t find elaborate explanation,can you help?
