then i am going to begin
uh
let's see
it's okay good nice all right cool there
are 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 uh friendly some very beginner
uh 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 a
reminder the infinitive form of a verb
is like the dictionary form it's the the
form when you open the dictionary when
you check the dictionary that's 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
should not becomes shouldn't so that's
what uh 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 shouldn't 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 live 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 uh 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 uh next example then uh 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 uh cookies i don't know
crackers lots of my favorite foods those
kinds of things okay 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 as it is some examples are
coming in fantastic uh sick eraser says
you should wash your hands every hour
nice example for right now
uh christopher says i should learn
english from alicia woohoo i hope so uh
cine 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 ah everybody has 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 uh good okay let's go to
one more example for suggestions or
advice and then we'll continue on
okay uh 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 a 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 or 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 this
thing 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
uh 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
uh
final one some examples are coming in
then i'll read your examples i see there
are a lot
uh 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
uh
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 you are nying hi if
i st uh if i study hard i should pass
the exam nice nice example
others um
yes lots of people are sending
suggestions
i'm looking for your predictions um
let's see wandy moo the sky is cloudy it
should rain later yeah that's pretty
good nice nice uh
that's a very nice one guarantee alicia
should be the most popular teacher in
the world i don't know i don't know
everybody has their own preferences
uh
alicia

your recommendations your
recommendations
uh let's i'm looking for your
predictions your predictions
[Music]
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
uh 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 uh so
please do consider you can use this
grammar to make predictions all right
but let's move on uh to a break oh yeah
part one's done wow okay let's move on
to a break uh if you missed it this week
our team put together a free
course i know many of you are at home

um
yeah that's uh that's a maybe that's
kind of a nice thing to do a nice a nice
study option uh for this time okay so uh
if you are just joining us today
i'm talking about how to use should have
and shouldn't have uh so we're covering
how to use this modal verb i talked
about using it for uh suggestions and
advice and to make predictions
in part two now we're going to level up
a little bit uh we're going to talk
about how to use it
to describe uh likely present situations
and uh 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
uh i don't see
uh questions or examples lots of you are
sending your uh suggestions and advice
very nice uh people should follow the
rules good examples
uh okay let's continue on to part two
then because there's a lot to explain
part two let's begin here
uh this use of should
uses b this is a key point for this
grammar and for the next grammar point
as well so i put these together in a
group 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
and the ending of this sentence will
change a bit uh you will sometimes see
it with uh an adjective you'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
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 b
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
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 uh
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 some place
we've never been to before but we think
we've arrived so we have a high level of
confidence in ourselves
okie dokie
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
uh someone said uh ain't unheal on
health hi uh says is ought to the same
as should in terms of meaning uh yes in
terms of meaning yes so like it's monday
the office ought to be open or
uh 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 uh so in terms of meaning they are
the same
in these cases
but we use should more in everyday
conversation
alrighty
i'm looking for your examples now
it's 20 20. our government should be
honest
so that's another uh suggestion or
advice pattern yeah so remember this one
we're talking about a very likely
present situation someone uh uh
fareed says it's wednesday alicia should
be online perfect
exactly so a very high chance i am
online now so uh that something that is
true now like in this moment in time
uh
good good good
uh khanwaji it says be patient there
should be a way to fix this server error
there should be a way okay nice one nice
one yeah
okay
uh he should be uh van dy 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 uh 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 uh that's an example
of this one so how do we make this
again same pattern subject plus should
or shouldn't
with this again we use be
and at the end we use the we use a verb
in the ing form
so this uh let's look at some examples
of this first it's 3 am so 3 am
means 3 in the morning
you should be sleeping you should be
sleeping subject u
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 reading late at night and that was me
the kid is up reading late at night and
the parent finds the kid like ugh it's 3
am you should be sleeping
so this means the kid is not sleeping
the parent has this desired action this
desired state 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 maybe a group of people is talking
very loudly with loud voices so
they in 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 speakers
expectation or desire
is for the group of people not to talk
they shouldn't be talking this is a
library
hi rolando one of our members joined
welcome
uh so we use this pattern to express
that like uh
uh expectation but that's not happening
now
so what's another good example ah here's
another good one
uh 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
uh
sorry oh my pen's dying 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 listen i
should be studying
so this is something you can use yes
your 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
jesus 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
so we want to we kind of are showing the
contrast there
[Music]
okay
americo says they shouldn't be fighting
it's only a joke okay good that's a good
example that's a good example
uh
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 all right um let's continue to
the last part
i've talked about this last one in live
streams before
but i want to review today it's a good
point to review um the last one uh i
guess i'll just very quickly mention
before i continue to this last point if
you haven't uh if you missed it earlier
uh our team put together a a free
kind of set
for everyone watching you can get a free
access to the free beginner level uh
course materials from our website i'm

instagram again sorry i can't see your
comments live but you can get this too
just check uh facebook or youtube yeah
so i hope that that's helpful for people
beginner level stuff so maybe practice
with these points okay anyway let's go
to
uh
the last the last part
uh 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 uh 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 are subject
then we use should or shouldn't 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 that's cute so
uh
i shouldn't have spent so much money i
shouldn't have spent so much money a
very common
regret for many people so this one uh
what's happening here i
and then
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
so again we're using this negative form
have past participle verb yelled he
shouldn't have yelled in the meeting it
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
very exciting grammar so some examples
from all of you
um
junior 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 now 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 that's a very common
regret for me as well
uh okay fabiano says i shouldn't have
shouted great great uh over on facebook
uh nyok says i shouldn't have loved him
so much oh yes a common relationship
regret great one great one uh shahad
says i shouldn't have driven so fast i
gotta find so many of you
are using uh two in these cases i
shouldn't have driven so adjective 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
guillerme she should have eaten more
salad ah so i know that uh if your
subject is he or she or it we practice a
lot changing the verb in this pattern
uh he shouldn't have there's no change
to have in this one please uh keep uh
your half there he shouldn't have she
shouldn't have
uh other examples uh walkis i shouldn't
have eaten so much ice cream good
examples good examples naying says i
shouldn't have hurt my friend's feelings
good uh johnson says uh 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 masters with this
grammar point
very nice
very nice ah
syed maybe sorry on youtube says please
tell us about the question form of the
should have pattern ah great point uh i
can i have like one more minute just
okay i'm sorry okay so i'll 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
uh
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 verb
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 verb
okay sorry that was like a minute and a
half my bad okay
so i have to finish there uh because
that's the schedule so uh we'll end uh
there for today
