Oh.
2
Hello.
3
I should have prepared for this lesson, and I guess now I don't know what to say.
4
Whoops.
5
Martin, you could have at least warned me.
6
Now what are we going to do?
7
I would have done it, but I was just so busy.
8
I could have done it if you told me.
9
Don't you have some notes or something we can use?
10
I had some notes, but I can't find them.
11
Well, think about it.
12
Where could they be?
13
Not sure.
14

15

16
Hi, I'm Martin.
17
Welcome to Oxford Online English!
18
In this lesson, you can learn how to use would have, should have, and could have.
19
These verbs would, should, could, etc. are modal verbs, so they don't have past forms like normal verbs do.
20
Instead, you can talk about the past by adding have plus a past participle after the verb.
21
In this lesson, you'll learn to use those modal verbs to talk about the past in English, what they mean, and how they're different.
22
Sometimes you have moments when your life could go in very different ways.
23
For example, maybe you take an important exam, and your result decides where you can go to university.
24
Maybe you're thinking about moving to another country.
25
Do you stay where you are, or do you leave?
26
Perhaps you're in a relationship, and things aren't going so well.
27
Do you stay and try to make it work, or do you move on?
28
Life is full of these important moments and decisions.
29
Try to think of something like this from your past.
30
Now ask yourself.
31
You made the choices you made.
32
You passed the exam or you failed it.
33
You moved to another country or you didn't.
34
That's reality, but what if things had gone the other way?
35
This is the imaginary past.
36
You're imagining a different version of the past.
37
You're asking yourself questions like, what if I had worked a bit harder and passed that exam?
38
What if I had taken that job and moved to Italy?
39
What if I had told her how I feel?
40
This is where you use would have.
41
Use would have to talk about the imaginary past.
42
For example, if I had got better exam results, I would have got into Harvard.
43
I wouldn't have met my wife if I had moved to Italy seven years ago.
44
If I hadn't forgotten my pen that day, I wouldn't have asked to borrow yours, and we wouldn't have become friends!
45
Think about your important moment from the past when your life could have gone in two very different directions.
46
What would have happened if things had gone the other way?
47
So you can use would have to talk about the imaginary past.
48
What about our other verbs?
49
Where do you suppose they are?
50
I don't know.
51
They're usually so reliable.
52
I guess they could have mixed up the date.
53
Shall we try calling them again?
54
We can't wait forever.
55
When will it be ready?
56
I think next Thursday.
57
You said you'd have it finished by the end of this week.
58
Now what am I going to do?
59
Sorry.
60
You could have told me sooner that you weren't going to finish on time.
61
Doctor, is it serious?
62
No, it's just a scratch.
63
But be more careful next time.
64
You could have really hurt yourself.
65
You can also use could have to talk about the imaginary past.
66
If I'd had more time, I could have finished everything.
67
He could have won it if he hadn't slipped at the start.
68
When you use could have to talk about the imaginary past, you're talking about possibilities.
69
We're talking about opportunities and chances which you didn't have in reality,
70
but in your imaginary version of the past, you would have had these chances.
71
However, could have can also have different meanings.
72
Let's look!
73
Here you saw three more ways to use could have.
74
that you can go back and review the dialogues if you need to.
75
Can you explain how could have is used in each of these dialogues?
76
Could have can mean that you aren't sure about something in the past.
77
You're talking about a possibility.
78
They could have mixed up the date.
79

80

91

92
Let's review quickly.
93
Could have has four different meanings. Can you remember them?
94
You can use could have to talk about the imaginary past, to guess about something in the past which you aren't sure about,
95
to criticise someone for something they didn't do, and to say that someone was lucky to avoid a bad situation.
96
Next, what about should have?
97
You just saw that could have can be used to criticise someone.
98
Could have is similar, but you can use it in a wider variety of ways.
99
Like could have, you can use it to criticise something that someone didn't do in the past.

113
Look at three examples.
114

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
