Unit. 8 Behavior

Hello one more time people!

In unit 8 we learned about Past Modals: Would have, should have and could have.

Remember: You can use these past modals to talk hypothetically about the past. These modals are sometimes called ''modals of lost opportunity'' because they describe situations when we are imagining that the past was different.

Let's talk a little about each one:  

Would have: 

Use would have to imagine a result (if something had been different in the past).
For example: If you forget your umbrella, and it starts to rain, and you get wet, you can say: 

If I had brought my umbrella, I wouldn't have gotten wet in the rain.

  

Should have: 

 
Use should have to say that a different action was recommended in the past.
For example: If you arrive late to English class, you can say: 

I should have left my house earlier.

  

Could have:

 
Use could have to talk about possibilities if something had been differen in the past.
For example: Someone who didn’t go to college can say: 

If I had gone to college, I could have gotten a better job.

😁😁😁Guys! I hope this explanation about past modals can help you if you're not clear about this topic. Enjoy it! 😁😁😁
