Past Modals: Should Have,

Could Have, Would Have
Should have, could have, and would have are sometimes called
modals of lost opportunity because they describe situations when
we are imagining that the past was different.

The general rule of Should, Could, and Would is:

Should for recommendation / advice

If you want to lose weight, you should eat healthy food.
 Could for possibilities
I have the day off tomorrow.
Great! We could spend the day at the beach. Or we could
go shopping.
Would for imagining results
If I were rich, I would buy a boat.

Click here to review the difference between should, could,

and would.

The same general rule applies when using should have, could have,
and would have for imaginary past situations.

SHOULD HAVE
Use should have to say that a different action was recommended in
the past.

If you arrive late to English class, you can say:

I should have left my house earlier.

If you regret an argument, you can say:

I shouldnt have yelled at you yesterday. Im sorry.

You can also use should have / shouldnt have to tell other people
that a different action in the past would have been better. If your son
fails a test, you can say:

You should have studied. You shouldnt have played video

games all weekend.
COULD HAVE
Use could have to talk about possibilities if something had been
different in the past.

For example, someone who didnt go to college can say:

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

When talking about a gymnast who didnt win a competition, you can
say:

She could have won the gold medal if she hadnt fallen
three times.

Could have is often used with if + had + past participle (If I had gone
/ if she hadnt fallen) these if phrases express the imaginary past
situation. However, in some cases you can use could have without
the if phrase. Imagine youre driving with a person who makes a
dangerous maneuver on the road. You can say:

Are you crazy? We could have gotten into an accident.

WOULD HAVE
Use would have to imagine a result (if something had been different
in the past):

If you arrive late at the airport and miss your flight, you can say:
If we had arrived earlier, we would have caught our
flight.

If you forget your umbrella, and it starts to rain, and you get wet, you
can say:

If I had brought my umbrella, I wouldnt have gotten wet

in the rain.

Would have expresses more certainty about the result than could
have:

If I had worked harder, I could have gotten a promotion.

(maybe Id get a promotion but maybe not)

On a test where you need 70% to pass:

I got a 68 on the test. If I had gotten two more points, I would
have passed.
(with the two points, passing the test is CERTAIN)

Could have, should have, would have

These past modal verbs are all used hypothetically, to talk about
things that didn't really happen in the past.
Could have + past participle

1: Could have + past participle means that something was

possible in the past, or you had the ability to do something in the
past, but that you didn't do it. (See also modals of ability.)

I could have stayed up late, but I decided to go to bed early.

 They could have won the race, but they didn't try hard enough.

Julie could have bought the book, but she borrowed it from the
library instead.

He could have studied harder, but he was too lazy and that's why
he failed the exam.
Couldn't have + past participle means that something wasn't
possible in the past, even if you had wanted to do it.

I couldn't have arrived any earlier. There was a terrible traffic

jam (= it was impossible for me to have arrived any earlier).

He couldn't have passed the exam, even if he had studied harder.

It's a really, really difficult exam.
2: We use could have + past participle when we want to make a
guess about something that happened in the past. (See also modals
of probability.) In this case, we don't know if what we're saying is
true or not true. We're just talking about our opinion of what maybe
happened.

Why is John late?

He could have got stuck in traffic.

He could have forgotten that we were meeting today.

He could have overslept.

We can also choose to use might have + past participle to mean

the same thing:

He might have got stuck in traffic.

He might have forgotten that we were meeting today.

 He might have got stuck in traffic.

Should have + past participle

1: Should have + past participle can mean something that would

have been a good idea, but that you didn't do it. It's like giving advice
about the past when you say it to someone else, or regretting what
you did or didn't do when you're talking about yourself.

Shouldn't have + past participle means that something wasn't a

good idea, but you did it anyway.

I should have studied harder! (= I didn't study very hard and so I

failed the exam. I'm sorry about this now.)

I should have gone to bed early (= I didn't go to bed early and

now I'm tired).

I shouldn't have eaten so much cake! (= I did eat a lot of cake

and now I don't feel good.)

You should have called me when you arrived (= you didn't call
me and I was worried. I wish that you had called me).

John should have left early, then he wouldn't have missed the
plane (= but he didn't leave early and so he did miss the plane).
2: We can also use should have + past participle to talk about
something that, if everything is normal and okay, we think has
already happened. But we're not certain that everything is fine, so we
use 'should have' and not the present perfect or past simple. It's often
used with 'by now'.

His plane should have arrived by now (= if everything is fine, the

plane has arrived).
 John should have finished work by now (= if everything is
normal, John has finished work).
We can also use this to talk about something that would have
happened if everything was fine, but hasn't happened.

Lucy should have arrived by now, but she hasn't.

Would have + past participle

1: Part of the third conditional.

If I had had enough money, I would have bought a car (but I

didn't have enough money, so I didn't buy a car).
2: Because 'would' (and will) can also be used to show if you want to
do something or not (volition), we can also use would have + past
participle to talk about something you wanted to do but didn't. This
is very similar to the third conditional, but we don't need an 'if
clause'.

I would have gone to the party, but I was really busy.

(= I wanted to go to the party, but I didn't because I was busy. If
I hadn't been so busy, I would have gone to the party.)

I would have called you, but I didn't know your number.

(= I wanted to call you but I didn't know your number, so I didn't
call you.)

A: Nobody volunteered to help us with the fair

B: I would have helped you. I didn't know you needed help.
(= If I had known that you needed help, I would have helped
you.)
