Should is a very interesting modal verb because it has a number of different meanings and uses. We use should have followed by the PP verb. That’s the past participle. You can say things like should have done should have tried should have gone and so. For today’s English lesson let’s take a look at three different ways we can use should have plus the PP verb.
Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details:
