Should, Would, Could
I should’ve, would’ve, could’ve done this or that.
But you didn’t.
Get over it.
The problem with these three modal verbs, so essential to the English language, is that they are backward-looking, and are often used to express regret. Not much can be done about what you should/would/could have done but didn’t. Learn a lesson perhaps, but not much more.
A lot more useful are shall, will, and can. These ones demand that you look forward, be bold, believe, and take action.
Guess which ones spiritually intelligent people prefer to use?
