That's a possibility

Practice modals for giving pinions and suggestions on real hypothetical past events.

What does perspective mean?

• a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view.

• way of looking/thinking

Let’s watch this animated film, and analyzed their perspective. 

• WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE VIDEO?

• WHY WAS THE LADY JUDGING THE YOUNG MAN?

• WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU WERE HIM?

  
  

When we judge past actions we use:

should (not) have

We use should (not) have when we give an opinion or judgement about a past situation:

Jessica: I didn´t study for the exam.

Me: You should´ve studied. It was 50 points.

I´m judging Jessica because she didn´t study.

When suggesting alternative past actions we use:

would (not) have

We use would (not) have when we are imagining a hypothetical situation happening to us and doing something different:

Jessica: I forgave my boyfriend.

Me: I wouldn´t have forgiven him.

If I were Jessica, I wouldn’t have forgiven him.

When suggesting alternative past actions we use:

could (not) have

We use could (not) have when we are suggesting a hypothetical past possibility:

Jessica: My boyfriend was sad and I didn´t ask him why.

Me: You could have shown more empathy.

You had the chance to show empathy but you didn´t.
