Hi Grace! I'm a native Mandarin speaker, and I'm currently self-learning English. These phrases (Should have / Could have / Would have) have been puzzling me for a while, not quite sure when to use them. But your videos indirectly help me understand how these phrases correspond to English usage. Super grateful for that! 😄

[@patrickstar1164]

I love my dog's cookies too and I don't need regretting sentences for that situation

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

😂😂Okay then

[@CharlesLumia]

The cookie/dog biscuit bit was hilarious lol

[@ActivelyMike]

對了，請教一下，可以把「應該⋯⋯的」理解為「是⋯⋯的」的句型嗎？譬如，「我（是）應該早點開始學習國語的」如此的說法理論上是對的嗎？

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

​@@jrlee2374 我其實也想過這兩個句式有沒有關係，但目前沒有找到相關研究證明兩者是相同的句式。如果你找到相關的資料，歡迎分享給我！☺

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@hoangthanh0210 As a Viet you may know? Chinese characters generally represent sounds as whole syllables, not as letters. These syllables are drawn from the kangxi radicals and the dutizi 独体字 . Grace is great and knows better than me but I do think those are two under emphasized aspects of Chinese language teaching.
