179
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
180

I'll explain it in just a moment.
202
hi my name is alicia and this is three -step english by englishclass101 .com
203
in this lesson you'll learn how to express regrets through a quick conversation you Let's look at the dialogue.
204
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
205
Thank you.
206
It's freezing in here.
207
I wouldn't say freezing.
208
I'd say it's a cool 53 degrees or maybe less.
209
53 degrees.
210
That's Fahrenheit.
211
i see well we should have gone to green burger they have a terrace there Yeah.
212
But the terrace is always crowded.
213
Thank you.
214
We should have called and made a reservation.
215
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.
216
It's freezing in here.
217
I wouldn't say 'freezing'.
218
I'd say it's a cool 53 degrees or maybe less.
219
Fifty -three degrees.
220
That's Fahrenheit.
221
I see.
222
Well, we should have gone to Green Burger.
223
They have a terrace there.
224
Yeah, but the terrace is always crowded.
225
We should have called and made a reservation.
226
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
227
This character is talking to this character about where they are eating and what they could have done instead.
228
This character is unhappy with where they're eating and says, I see, well, we should have gone to Greenburger.
229
They have a terrace there.
230
To do this, they say, we should have gone.
231
This means that going to Greenburger was the better choice, but it wasn't made and the speaker now regrets not choosing it.
232
When this character says that the terrace is always crowded, the response is another example of the pattern.
233
We should have called and made a reservation.
234
Calling and making a reservation was the correct choice, but the time has passed and the correct decision was not made.
235
They are saying this to express regret that they did not make the correct decision.
236
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
237
This pattern is the structure that all of our examples will follow.
238
Subject, should have, past participle.
239
Should have helps us talk about missed chances or decisions we regret.
240
Notice that it has to be followed by the past participle form of the verb.
241
This is important because the past participle indicates the action took place or should have taken place in the past.
242
Let's see how a line from the dialogue follows this pattern.
243
We should have called and made a reservation.
244
In this sentence, "we" is the subject.
245
"Called" and "made" are the past participle forms.
246
'Should have' can also be contracted to 'should've'.
247
Thank you.
248
Thank you.
249
Thank you you You can only do this with the modal 'should have' phrase.
250
In other uses, like 'you should have three apples left', you cannot use the contraction.
251
you Now, let's look at some speaking examples.
252
We should have met up a bit later.
253
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
254
"We" is the subject, followed by "should have." Then, "met up" is the past participle.
255
"A bit later" provides context on the time.
256
Let's look at another.
257
I should have taken my books back yesterday.
258
I should have taken my books back yesterday.
259
Let's try one more.
260
You should have made a reservation.
261
Thank you.
262
You should have made a reservation.
263
Another one.
264
They should have turned off the air conditioner.
265
They should have turned off the air conditioner.
266
One last example.
267
Thank you.
268
We should have ordered another pizza.
269
We should have ordered another pizza.
270

through a quick conversation.
277
Let's look at the dialogue.
278
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
279
Let's go to 10 ,000 lanes after this.
280
But is it even open?
281
Could you check?
282
Their site says it's open until midnight.
283
How crowded is it?
284
When I go there, it's always crowded.
285
If it's crowded, we'll go somewhere else.
286
Could you call ahead?
287
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.
288
Let's go to 10 ,000 lanes after this.
289
But is it even open?
290
Could you check?
291
Their site says it's open until midnight.
292
How crowded is it?
293
When I go there, it's always crowded.
294
If it's crowded, we'll go somewhere else.
295
Could you call ahead?
296
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
297
This person is asking this person whether the place they are planning to go is crowded.
298
The person they're asking doesn't know.
299
so they say if it's crowded we'll go somewhere else If it's crowded, sets a condition.
300
In a situation where it, 10 ,000 lanes, is crowded, then a result will happen.
301
"Will go somewhere else" is the result.
302
"Will" is a contraction of "we will".
303
It shows that the two "will" go somewhere else if it is crowded.
304
You can also swap the clauses without changing the meaning.
305
For example, we will go somewhere else if it is crowded.
306
Now, let's look at some speaking examples.
307
If you all don't hurry, I'll just go ahead.
308
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
309
The sentence starts with "if" and then "don't" is the present simple verb.
310
Note that unlike in the dialogue, the entire contraction of "don't" is considered as the verb.
311
That's because in the dialogue, the contractions were combining pronouns with verbs,
312
like "wheel" being "we" plus "will." In the case of "don't", it combines "do" and "not".
313
Here "do" is the verb and "not" changes it to the negative form.
314
After that, we have another contraction of a pronoun and verb in "I'll," which is "I" plus "will."
315
"Will" is the modal verb, and "just go ahead" is the action they'll take in this "what if" situation.
316
Next, if they put us near the smoking section, I'll ask to move.
317
If they put us near the smoking section, I'll ask to move.
318
Let's try one last example.
319
If it looks like rain, I'll bring an umbrella.
320
If it looks like rain, I'll bring an umbrella.
321
Now you know how to talk about what ifs in English.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
