all right - cool there lots of people watching excellent all right let's get started so I'm going to start over here I'm going to I'm going to go from like a very very beginner friendly to a little more challenging and then we'll stay at a little kind of intermediate level today so let's begin with some very beginner friendly some very beginner patterns that we can use with should so first point we use should and should not to express suggestions or to express advice this is the pattern that we use when we want to express a suggestion we want to give someone advice subject plus should or shouldn't plus the infinitive form of a verb or reminder the infinitive form of a verb is like the dictionary form it's the form when you open the dictionary when you check the dictionary that the form of the verb that you see this is the infinitive form another point this part right here is not not so should not reduces to shouldn't shouldn't should not becomes shouldn't so that's what this is I'm going to use this in today's lesson a lot so I probably won't say should not I'll probably say shouldn't should so let's look at some examples while I read these examples please send me your examples in the chat I will check them I will check as many as I can alive so let's take a look so first one you should exercise every day you should exercise every day my subject is you here's should here's my infinitive verb exercise exercise you should exercise every day of course this sentence is also correct you should exercise that's very general advice you should exercise every day gives a little more information okay someone Andrew said I should eat more fruit okay good so like giving advice to yourself or a suggestion to yourself that's totally fine good job okay next example then he shouldn't eat junk food he shouldn't eat junk food my subject is he here I have the negative so this is something we recommend not to do so he shouldn't eat again infinitive verb so no change to the verb hey there JP tag thanks very much for supporting our Channel awesome okay and then junk food if you don't know junk food junk food is unhealthy food like in the u.s. that means like potato chips cookies I don't know crackers lots of my favorite foods those kinds of things ok so he shouldn't eat junk food please note with this grammar point we don't need to change the verb this verb so like he shouldn't eats is incorrect no change to this verb here just leave it some examples are coming in fantastic stick eraser says you should wash your hands every hour nice example over right now Christopher says I should learn English from Alisha whoo-hoo I hope so a cineast says I should stay at home these days yes indeed excellent very timely examples everybody ah let's see Jacob says we shouldn't give up nice everybody has a nice supportive example sentences on Facebook hang says you should study online in this difficult situation nice idea yes I hope so I hope so okay let's go to one more example for suggestions or advice and then we'll continue on ok we should think about our vacation plans for next year we should think about our vacation plans for next year so again here's my subject here's should and my infinitive verb is think I included this one because of this pattern this think about you might hear this pattern in planning situations we should think about something something for the future this is kind of a handy it's a useful pattern we should think about or you should think about it's like saying please consider this for the future but you're giving a recommendation so this is the first use of should I want to talk about today let's continue now to using should to make predictions for the future so when we do this the grammar we use is the same as this one so there's no change to the grammar here so how do we know it's a prediction we know based on the context based on the conversation on the situation we understand is it advice for is this person making a guess so again a prediction is a guess we're making a guess about the future when you use should to make a prediction it's saying like you think there's a very good chance in the future of so some examples our team has had a great year our team has had a great year we should win the finals we should win the finals so this is like a Sports example yeah so if I'm like a basketball team or like a football team or something and my team this part our team has had a great year that means up until now this year our team's performance was very good but we say our team has had a great year then we should win the finals so this we should is not a like a recommendation this should is a prediction so the speaker is making a guess I think there's a good chance we are going to win the finals that's what this is okay another example the app we made should be a huge success the app we made should be a huge success so if you are like an app developing company or if you make software if you make anything basically if you create anything and you think there's a good chance it will be successful you can express it with should so the thing I made or the app we made in my example should be so here my subject is this the app the app or the app we made and then should and my verb here is B the app we made should be a huge success huge means very very big okay a final one some examples are coming in then I'll read your example as I see there are a lot my parents should arrive in a few minutes my parents should arrive in a few minutes subject is my parents should and arrive is my verb so again this is not a suggestion this is a prediction so I expect my parents are going to arrive I think there's a very high chance of that i express it with my parents should arrive in a few minutes so the grammar is the same it just depends on what you want to communicate okay I'm going to check your examples so oh I just missed you on Facebook someone had a really nice one yeah someone said if I study hard I should pass the exam other ur9 hiya if I stuff if I study hard I should pass the exam nice nice example others umm yes lots of people are sending suggestions I'm looking for your predictions umm let's see one day me the sky is cloudy it should rain later yeah that's pretty good nice nice that's a very nice one gear Matt Lisa should be the most popular teacher in the world I don't know everybody has their own preferences uh Alisha you guys are sending me your your recommendations your recommendations let's I'm looking for your predictions your predictions hmm our team has been in good form we should qualify for the next round nice example on Facebook over there great one great one I missed your name I'm sorry I'm sorry someone says you're really overweight you shouldn't eat a lot okay so again that's a suggestion or advice pattern okay great nice examples everyone so please do consider you can use this grammar to make predictions alright but let's move on to a break oh wow okay let's move on to a break if you missed it this week our team put together a free course I know many of you are at home studying with us thank you very much for studying with us that is super cool if you are interested this banner if you're watching on Facebook or on YouTube sorry you can't see I'm on Instagram there is a free beginner level course

that is helpful for you yeah that's uh that's a maybe that's kind of a nice thing to do a nice a nice study option for this time okay so if you are just joining us today I'm talking about how to use should have and shouldn't have so we're covering how to use this modal verb I talked about using it for suggestions and advice and to make predictions in part 2 now we're going to level up a little bit we're going to talk about how to use it to describe likely present situations and expected and desired actions that are not happening so let's get into part two if you have not already please make sure to like and share the video so that other people can find today's lesson I don't see questions or examples lots of you are sending your suggestions and advice very nice people should follow the rules good examples okay let's continue on to part two then because there's a lot to explain bar two let's begin here this use of should uses beef this is a key point for this grammar and for the next grammar point as well so I put these together first very likely present situations very likely present situations so that means something that we think has a good chance a very good chance of being true now so we make this with again same as we did before subject plus should or shouldn't again we can make it negative shouldn't is should not and then B B and the ending of this sentence will change a bit you will sometimes see it with an adjective he'll sometimes see it with an expression like here or at home something like that so let's look at some examples some common examples of how we use this it's Monday the office should be open it's Monday the office should be open what's happening here this is the sentence I want to focus on this gives us some background information it's Monday it's Monday so that means it's a regular working day it's Monday the office should be open so open here means the office is available like people are working in the office this be shows us with should that there's a very high chance so it's a very likely present condition it's Monday the office should be open so we express this with should be should be plus this condition word it should be open today another example hmm this should be the place the address is correct this should be the place the address is correct this I included this example sentence right here because this is a very common expression we use when we're looking for a place for the first time so if you have like your phone for example and you're checking the GPS on your phone or something you're looking for a new location like a restaurant or a new building you've never been there before you arrive you check your map and it's very this is usually what we say when we think we're correct when we think this should be the place so that means this is this place I'm in right now this should be the place so that means the place I'm going to or the place I want to go so this is a very common expression we use when we're looking for someplace we've never been to before but we think we've arrived so we have a high level of confidence in ourselves oh you know key okay send me your examples too of this of this grammar I will try to check it this one is a little more challenging so give it a try okay one more it's 11 a.m. it's 11 a.m. everyone should be at the office so again this one is very similar to the first one everyone my subject should be at the office at the office so remember I said like it's a we use like position words like at home or like a condition word we often end this kind of sentence with an expression like that someone said a nun hi says is ought to the same as should in terms of meaning yes in terms of meaning yes so like it's Monday the office ought to be open or as we talked about over here you ought to exercise every day yes but in terms of formality we do not use ought to very often in everyday speech it sounds a little bit old-fashioned or maybe too polite you sometimes hear it yes so in terms of meaning they're the same in these cases but we use should more in everyday conversation already I'm looking for your examples now it's Johnny our government should be honest so that's another suggestion or advice pattern yeah so remember this one we're talking about a very likely present situation someone Fareed says it's Wednesday Alicia should be online perfect that's exactly so a very high chance I am online now so that's something that is true now like in this moment in time good good good con logic says be patient there should be a way to fix this server error there should be a way okay next one next one yeah mmm okay he should be a van died on Facebook says he's the police he should be protecting the people very nice example for the next point so let's continue to the next point then some of you are already sending examples for this one this one is a very common one what is this one so we use should in this pattern to express an expected or a desired action that is not happening so the example I just read on Facebook he's the police he should be protecting people that's an example of this one so how do we make this again the same pattern subject plus should or shouldn't with this again we use B and at the end we use the we use a verb in the ing form so this let's look at some examples of this first it's 3:00 a.m. so 3:00 a.m. means 3:00 in the morning you should be sleeping you should be sleeping subject you should be verb in the ing form you should be sleeping so that means the listener is not sleeping so this is something like parents say to kids so like the kid is up a reading late at night and that was the kid is up reading late at night and the parent finds the kid it's 3:00 a.m. you should be sleeping so this means the kid is not sleeping the parent has this desired action this desired state and express it with this you should be sleeping you can use this another example they shouldn't be talking this is a library so this situation the speaker is in a library some may be a group of people it's talking very loudly with loud voices so they and the negative shouldn't be talking they shouldn't be talking so this shouldn't shows us the group of people they are talking now the speaker's expectation or desire is for the group of people not to talk I shouldn't be talking this is a library hi Rolando one of our members joined and welcome so we use this pattern to express that like expectation but that's not happening now so what's another good example uh here's another good one let me change my my marker color so it's easier to see when you're studying I'll give you a pattern that you can use if you need to study and someone is bothering you so you can say sorry oh my pens back sorry I can't talk now I should be studying sorry I can't talk right now I should be studying I should be studying I should be studying so this is something you can use yes you're the subject is you I should be studying so you're saying this is the action I need to do this is my desired action now and you apologize sorry I can't talk to you right now I need to focus is what you're saying with this sorry I should be studying so this is a handy a handy means useful a handy expression you can use to talk about desired ongoing situations okay um hey sooth says that's the gym they should be exercising yes so that's okay that sentence is okay if you see someone that's like not exercising in the gym so the key here is that this the situation the desired situation is not happening that's what we use this pattern to express we want something to happen but it's not happening right so we want to we kind of are showing the contrast of it okay America says they shouldn't be fighting it's only a joke okay good that's a good example that's a good example siya hots on facebook says I'm a teacher I should be listening more oh I missed it I should be listening more in English I think is what it says nice example nice example okay uh let's see I have about five minutes left alright let's continue to the last part I've talked about this last one in livestream as before but I want to review today it's a good point to review um the last one I guess I'll just very quickly mentioned before I continue to this last point if you haven't if you missed it earlier our team put together a free kind of set for everyone watching you can get a free access to the free beginner level course materials from our website I'm pointing to this banner at the bottom of the screen if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube so you

or you do yeah so I hope that that's helpful for people beginner level stuff so maybe practice at these points okay anyway let's go to the last the last part okay I don't see other questions let's go to the last part how to express regret this is a very common one with should have and shouldn't have yes we also use would have and could have with this if you want to know more about that please search our English class 101 YouTube channel for that lesson I have taught a lesson about that so I'm going to focus on should have and shouldn't have in this part right here to express regret what is regret regret is a sad or disappointed feeling about the past so how do we do that we express it one way to do that is to express with should so again two patterns here our subject then we use should or should it again as with everything else in today's lesson this one however we use have after should or shouldn't and we finish with the past participle form of a verb so the past participle form of a verb form of a verb is something we have to study so let's look at some examples of this and break down what's happening here so oh I shouldn't have spent so much money I shouldn't have spent so much money a very common of regret for many people so this one what's happening here I am men shouldn't so should not have spent so much money so like last month I shouldn't have spent so much money why did I do that so I spent too much money that's the problem here I'm expressing regret with this grammar pattern I shouldn't have spent spent is the past participle form of the verb to spend so this means I spent too much money I'm using the negative here this sentence means I did spend money or rather I spent too much money and now I am upset that's what's going on when you see this negative form I should not have done that thing let's compare this to the positive form you should have called me so for example like my friend was struggling my friend needed help you needed help you should have called me in this sentence I'm using the positive so should have and then past participle verb form called me that means you did not call me but I think you should have it would have been better so please note when you use the positive form of this it means the action did not happen in the past when you use the negative form of it it means the action did happen in the past so please keep this in mind this key difference here let's look at one more example he shouldn't have yelled in the meeting he shouldn't have yelled in the meeting so again we're using this negative form half past participle verb yelled he shouldn't have yelled in the meeting I was so unprofessional so that means he did yell in the meeting so yes although it's negative that means that action happened in the past and we wish it had not hmm very exciting grammar so some examples from all of you jr. says I shouldn't have spent so much time in parties good and so um good point you've written too much in the youtube comment I please use this so much so much known so I shouldn't have spent so much time or I shouldn't have spent so much money please use so much so much you're emphasizing how much of something that you did uh Michelle says I shouldn't have eaten so much food yes it was a very common regret for me as well okay Fabiana says I shouldn't have shouted great great over on Facebook uh yuk says I shouldn't have loved him so much oh yes a common relationship regrets great one great limb shot says I shouldn't have driven so fast I gotta find so many of you are using to in these cases I shouldn't have driven so adjectives I shouldn't have driven so fast or I shouldn't have slept so long please use so in this pattern so so so uh Jeremy she should have eaten more salad ah so I know that if your subject is he or she or it we practice a lot changing the verb in this pattern he shouldn't have there's no change to have in this one please keep your half there he shouldn't have she shouldn't have the other examples wall kiss I shouldn't have eaten so much ice cream good examples good examples nineteen says I shouldn't have hurt my friend's feelings good John's and says they shouldn't have reacted the way they did excellent excellent example rocky says I shouldn't have played video games all day great examples everybody very nice Wow everybody is you are master is with this grammar point very nice nice uh uh Sayid may be sorry on YouTube says please tell us about the question form of this should have pattern ah great point I can I have like one more minute just sorry okay so I'll include a question form here if you want to ask someone's feedback like you made a mistake you know that but you don't know how to fix it and you want to ask someone for their advice you can use a pattern like what should I have done what should I have done so to break this down what's happening here WH question what in this case what you could use who or where or whatever should I or your subject have past participle bird what should I have done where should I have gone who should I have spoken to so this is how you can ask for feedback about something that didn't go as planned in the past I hope that this helps you so again to recap WH question should or shouldn't subject have past participle ver okay sorry that was like a minute and a half my bad okay so I have to finish there because that's the schedule so we'll end there for today ah what is the topic for next week forgot will be here next week uh if I mentioned this on Instagram and on Twitter there's a
