1.If you had three months to travel, where would you go?

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.

Before we study those terms in the past, let’s review the difference between should, could, and would. The general rule 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.”

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 shouldn’t have yelled at you yesterday. I’m sorry.”

• should have / shouldn’t 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 shouldn’t have played video games all weekend.”

Could Have

Use could have to talk about possibilities if something had been different in the past.

• someone who didn’t go to college can say: “If I had gone to college, I could have gotten a better job.”

• When talking about a gymnast who didn’t win a competition, you can say:

  “She could have won the gold medal if she hadn’t fallen three times.”

  
  

• 
  

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 wouldn’t have gotten wet in the rain.”
