An Introduction to Past Modals: must have, should have, would have, and could have
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2022
- In this English lesson I'll give an introduction, with plenty of examples, on how to use the past modals: must have, should have, would have, and could have. This is a difficult topic for many English learners. I will do my best to make it clear how to use these verbs in some situations.
This is by no means meant to be an extensive lesson. In fact, I decided to leave some verbs off the list, and to simply help you learn some of the common ways we use these as native English speakers.
I hope this English lesson helps you, and if you want, please let me know in the comments if you want a more advanced class on this in the future.
Thanks for watching this English lesson about past modal verbs! Have a great day!
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

I could've moved to the U.S, but I ended up staying in Canada. Since it was one of the most crucial decisions of my life, I should've given more thought to it. However, I wouldn't have done anything differently. Frankly, it all worked out for the best. So, I must've done something right, eh? Long Live Canada!
Those are perfectly written sentences using past modals. Awesome job Roman! 😎🌺💎
Wow,,,super 👍
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thank you. As an immigrant Canadian, it's been fun to learn English from you, Bob!
I like your sentences 🤗
Well done , Mr Bob 🙏👏🏼👏🏼💐
Past modal verbs are one of the most tricky things for a second language learner. I can understand the meaning but when I have a conversation, I shy away from using them. Today's lesson was really helpful for me.
I should have found your channel earlier. Being late is better than nothing. Thanks teacher
I tried to give some really straightforward examples. Hopefully you can build some sentences of your own from these using the models I gave and use them in your next conversation! 😎🌺💎
this video for 5 minutes probably takes at least 3 hours to find all the places that you show as well as come up with a topic for a new story. I wish You a lot of patience so as not to give up this business and continue to delight the audience with new releases of your versatile, very interesting and informative video tutorials.
Every week I look forward to making a new lesson. I haven't grown tired of it yet! 😎🌺💎
The places that you record your videos help us a lot, because there aren't external sounds to distract us. Thanks Bob
I try to find as peaceful a place as possible. Sometimes though there's a lot of trucks driving by on the road making noise and I have to wait before I hit the record button! 😎🌺💎
You're doing a great job, Bob! Very precise and understandable.
Thanks a lot Bob for sharing these topics with us!
My pleasure Ruyeri! 😎🌺💎
Thank you so much for this great video, Bob! You've given the best explanation and examples I've seen here on TH-cam for Past Modals. Not an easy subject to master in English as the differences are so subtle at times!
Hello Bob. Thanks a bunch for this lesson! it 's very helpful! Take care!
Your explanations are amazing.You're a lifesaver.Cheers.🙏🙏😇

It sounds like you're making some really good progress. Good job! 😎🌺💎
Thank you for the great video. Bob! This topic was what I've wanted to know for a long time. So I'm happy to be able to remember how to use them. I'm looking forward to watching your next video!
I hope you can take some of the example sentences I gave and modify them a bit and use them yourself! 😎🌺💎
I feel sometimes very low that I should have started learning English early but I wasted my time but now I'm happy to found a channel that teaches English in the right way or use full sentences which you can write down in your notebook if find them use full and can make yourself to used to speak English on the daily basis u are a great teacher
Thanks a lot for the lesson, I come back here from time to time so I can review this topic again and again. Regards from México City

Your lessons must have done the trick 😁👏💐 Thanks.

Thank you for the kind words! 😎🌺💎
Thank you for your video. It was superb as always. I remember the time when I learned modal verbs in the book 'Grammar way" and how excited I was. There were a lot of illustrated pictures and rules. So, I had the motivation to learn them. Modal in the past was always a difficult topic for me and I forgot a little about it. However, your video helped me to recall some information. I admire your video and I'll watch more and more
I'm glad I could give you a bit of a review and help you learn something new! 😎🌺💎
What a nice explanation about past modals

Thank you!
Thanks for the support Yumi! 😎🏡🌳
It is very very useful 🌸
Hi teacher Bob...I have watched this video for several times. I got the point, but I still couldn't use it directly, I should take time to think.
Sometimes if you let it rest for a day and watch it again another day that can help with understanding! 😎🏡🌳
Great teacher
I'm glad you think so! 😎🌺💎
Thank you Teacher
You're welcome Gaurav! 😎🌺💎
Perfect
Thanks! 😎🌺💎
Вов you are a great teacher
Could you please do a class about beard and/or barbershop.
For exemple: I have to shave my beard, but I won't shave it all, just neck and the out lines. Is it still shaving? Is it trimming? In portuguese we say "do/make the beard"
Nice video Thanks Sir
You're welcome! 😎🌺💎
Nice information ❤.
Thanks Asia! 😎🌺💎
I must thank you
Thanks for the wonderful video!
Could you please help me to choose the correct option?
'I don't think he meant to be rude.' 'He ……… said sorry.' i. must have
ii. might have iii. would have
Hi Bob!😊I’ve watched your marvelous videos on TH-cam a lot.
The more I study English grammar, The more the questions come out.
Could you show me how to use “was going to” ,“would have done” and “was supposed to”properly?
Ex)I would have gone to the meeting,
I was supposed to go the meeting,but my car broke down.
I’m looking forward to your replying🙏
I was going to go to bed at 10, but I ended up talking on the phone. - I had the intention of doing it, but something else came up.
I was supposed to go to bed at 10, but I ended up talking on the phone. - I was required to do it, but I chose to do something else.
