so today uh today is about as i said

uh should have and shouldn’t have i’m

going to show you

today’s lesson uh boards

i’m going to talk about these this is

the flow for today’s lesson

first i’m going to talk about should

have then i’m going to talk about should

not have

and last i’m going to talk about

pronunciation pronunciation

so this will be the flow for today’s

lesson

i’ll show you this again later so you

can take a picture later too

all right so let’s begin everything is

ready let’s begin

with should have should have so

we’ll go through first with an

explanation

should have when do we use should have

in blue here let’s start with this part

should have is a grammar point

we use to express regret

about a past action that did

not happen past action that did not

happen so what is regret so regret

this is a noun regret means sad feelings

about something in the past yeah

sad feelings that’s the key here or we

also use this

to think carefully like to consider

carefully

our past actions too

okay so on a timeline

we can imagine it looks kind of like

this so here’s my timeline

if this star is now back here is the

past

future this way we when we use

should have it’s because we are sad in

my little sad face

we are sad about an action in the past

that

did not happen it did not happen so yes

this is

like positive should have but it’s

something that

did not happen also

i have this star here it’s hard to see

it’s really small because it’s not a

focus point for today

but we also use this grammar point

uh to talk about expected

past actions or expected past conditions

i’m not going to focus on this today uh

maybe i can make another

lesson in the future about this use

i have a couple example sentences about

this

today we’re going to focus on using this

grammar to express

regret okay so

let’s look at how we make statements

statements with this grammar so

statement is not a question

so how do we make statements with should

have

to make a statement we use subject so

our subject is usually like i

or you or we or he she they

and so on plus should have

plus the past participle

form of a verb so the past participle

form of a verb is something

we have to study so today we’re going to

practice some very

common past participle verb forms in our

example sentences

okay so let’s look at

some examples and talk about what what

these sentences are saying

okay so first i should

have studied for the test this is a very

common one

i should have studied for the test what

is happening here

so my subject is i should have

is expressing regret yeah

i should have studied is the past

participle form of the verb

study and then finally for the test

so this will change of course depending

on the situation

so what does this sentence mean it means

i did not

study for the test and now i’m sad

i did not study for the test and now i’m

sad

i wish my past action had been different

yeah that’s what should have studied

expresses we’re expressing that

regret that sad feeling okay

let’s look at another example of this uh

this one you should have called me you

should have called me

so i’ll call of course in this case

refers to

phone calls yeah so this is probably

i suppose in most cases we use this

sentence for phone calls

but i guess um there are maybe a couple

situations where you might mean like

calling across a room

for someone in most cases this is

probably for phone calls

so you should have called me means

you did not call me and now

i am sad you should have called me

expresses this feeling

okay next one uh

she should have given us

the information she should have given

us the information so again we have this

subject she plus should have

plus our past participle verb so give

becomes

given she should have given us the

information

so what does this mean this means she

did not give us the information

now we are sad so all of these are

expressing

some past action did not happen and now

we are not happy or there’s some

not good results in the present

okay i have one more sentence here i

want to

mention uh just maybe for

uh learners interested in this point i

talked about earlier this more

uh this well i won’t i won’t cover it’s

not today’s key point

but just to uh refresh your memory or

introduce you to this uh this is what i

mean by

a an expected past action

or condition so he

should have arrived at the office

by now he should have arrived at the

office by now this

expresses a past it’s like an

expectation

that something happened in the past and

usually it affects the present

so there is this type of use it follows

the same grammar pattern

yes but it express it does not express

id uh

it does not express uh regret we’re

using it to talk about like some

expectation we have

so i’m not going to focus on this use

today today i’m focusing on

regrets but maybe i can do uh some other

lessons in the future yes sorry there

are some construction sounds outside my

house today

sorry about the background noise i can’t

i can’t do anything about it today

unfortunately i apologize for the

the issue hopefully the microphone helps

but they are very near me

okay uh let’s go to then the last part

of this board uh questions questions

so questions there are two question

patterns i want to introduce

they’re both right here i have this

whq so whq means a wh

question like who or what or where or

when

or why so we use this

before this part to make an

information question so wh

question plus should plus our subject

plus have and the past participle form

of a verb

so please note when you make a question

your the should and the have become

separate yeah when you make a statement

the and the have are together

so sometimes i hear people ask like what

should have

i done or like what you should have done

so please make sure when you make your

question

your and your have are separated

yeah

so let’s look at some examples some very

common examples

uh that you can use and that you can

probably

uh that you can probably uh

hear a lot too so what should

i have done what should i have done

this is a very very good uh question to

know

if you make a mistake with something so

you make a mistake

and you want to ask like a co-worker

maybe your boss

like okay i know i made a mistake what

do you think

uh in the past

i should have done so this i made a

mistake

for next it’s like saying for next time

what should i do

but you’re asking about the past instead

so what should

i have done expresses that

okay uh then

where should we have gone where should

we have gone

so again this expresses that there was

some past mistake

so we went to the wrong place

so we want to know in the future where

it’s like saying where should i go in

the future or

saying what was the place i was supposed

to go

we express that with this

one more you can use how with these

uh questions too i know i have wh but

how questions are also okay

so how should i have prepared

that report how should i have prepared

that report so

again it’s like i made a mistake and

i thought in the past i thought i was

correct

but there was some problem now things

are not good

so i want to ask what

was the report supposed to be

supposed to look like what was the

report supposed to look like

how should i have prepared that report

okay so the last thing i want to mention

today

uh are yes and no questions because

these i think are really really

common and helpful so you’ll notice here

i’ve got dot dot dot in front of these

that’s because

you’ll often hear these types of

questions

asked kind of in like a like a shy voice

they’re kind of like

a little bit embarrassed so

you’ll notice too that there’s no wh

question here

so to make these just remove the wh

yeah so first one here is should i have

come to the office today

should i have come to the office today

this is a yes or no question

to be very clear you should say yes you

should have come to the office today

or no it’s okay what is this

what is this question asking should i

have come to the office today

this question is saying oh

i did not come to the office today was

that bad

that’s what this is saying the way this

question is made

sounds like the speaker is worried like

uh oh was it my responsibility to come

to the office today

so you can use this pattern to make

those com like those uh confirmation

questions and that’s why it starts with

like this

like uh oh that kind of feeling so one

this one is a kind of an

advice or a criticism actually

no the subject here is you should you

have eaten so much junk food

should you have eaten so much junk food

so that means

you ate a lot of junk food are you

sure that was a good idea that’s what

this sentence is saying

should you have eaten so much junk food

like maybe after a party or something

you might your friend might say this to

you i don’t your mom or your dad

so should i eat should you have eaten so

much junk food so this is how we use

should have should have so positive uh

expressions should have statements and

questions okay

i will look at the chat now uh some

examples are coming in

uh david on youtube says what i should

have studied

english when i was a teenager maybe what

uh what um what english

lessons should i have studied when i was

a teenager

so uh or what i’m not quite sure what

the question is uh asking there

um wow there are a lot of questions

coming in now

uh sir cirrus says should i have shared

my life with you

okay interesting that means you did not

and you’re questioning it

uh kanwaljeet hi says should you have

gone to the party

uh okay good are you on insta yes check

the link in the description after the

video

uh should we have gone outside ming

should we have

gone outside so please make sure to use

uh the past participle form of the verb

after have should we have gone

outside yeah for those that are just

joining today there’s some construction

sound in the background sorry about that

i cannot change it they’re very close to

uh okay on facebook i’m coming for you

now facebook

uh is it okay if i

show an advice or suggestion yeah please

feel free to send me your comments i

can’t check

everything i have facebook and youtube

to check at the same time

as i teach but i will try to do that

uh mao on youtube says should i have

joined the live stream last week very

nice

very nice uh good okay

um embark on facebook says i should have

started learning

english when i was five years old

perfect very nice examples very nice

examples

uh what i

uh david what i should have studied

english lessons when i was a teenager so

make sure when you make your wh

questions

this what uh should

i have studied when i was

a teenager so try to follow this pattern

when you make your question what should

have studied so if you want to be

specific you can say

what lessons should i

have study when i was a teenager

so we use uh lessons together with the

question

what lesson or what place so that’s put

your question with that specific point

together

okay i have to go on to part two of

today’s lesson if you are just joining

today’s topic is should have and

uh we finished we have just finished

should have next we are going to talk

about

should not have should not have last

will be pronunciation today

okay let’s move on to should not

have the negative negative all right

so when do we use should

not have where did my marker go okay so

when do we should not have so again we

use

should not have to express regret this

is a very common use of this grammar

point

but different from

should have which we just practiced we

use should not have

to express regret about an

actual past action

so that means something that really

happened

and we are sad about this is the

difference so to compare
