Learn Spanish: How to say SHOULD HAVE, WOULD HAVE, COULD HAVE | Intermediate and Advanced Spanish

[@imperfectlyrational]

As a native Spanish speaker, I must say your videos are excellent and capture so many subtleties that are rarely taught. Of course, I don’t need to learn (any more) Spanish, but I enjoy watching you. I’m currently learning other languages-Italian and French mostly-and I really wish there were other KZbinrs as clear, nuanced, and straightforward as you.

[@jackcrane7853]

I completely agree! Unlike most other so called Spanish teachers on yt she is competent, unpretentious and easy to dig. 💯💪

[@greene8097]

Nunca podría haber imaginado que un native de inglés tendría una acento de español tan maravilloso!

[@athruz7919]

¿Y de por qué pensarías eso?

[@greene8097]

I have been teaching myself Spanish for more than 15 years. In addition to a legion of native Spanish speakers, I have heard many native English speakers teaching Spanish. By far your accent is the finest I have ever heard! You must have spent years in a Spanish-speaking country!@@athruz7919

A la mayoría les cuesta o simplemente no se toman la molestia de hacer bien las vocales o algunas consonantes del español@@athruz7919

[@JuanMoreno-wo5yb]

That’s a nice thing to say if you said it correctly or not, I don’t know. I kinda left the verbs to sort themselves out and most of them never did so now I have to face reality and hit the books or find good videos like these ❤

This was so helpful! I’m at this level now where I’m trying to incorporate these into conversations and I always get confused! Very clear explanations and examples. Thank you!

[@ChannelMath]

I guess the difference between deberias and debiste is that debiste is an expression of what you should have done at the time, and deberias is what you should have done from the point of view of now. Usually these are the same, but you can see how they might not be

[@garrymontgomery2033]

[@JorgeGarcia-lw7vc]

Native speaker here. Verdict: listen to her, all legit advice. On pudiera, in this case, don't substitute for pudiese (which is the other past subjunctive type--pudiera/pudiese are generally interchangeable just not in this case). Also, pudo and podria haberte ayudado, can in some cases mean the same thing, but there can be some important differences. El pudo haberte ayudado (means he definitely had been able to help you), whereas podria haberte ayudado (he with an element of likelihood would have been able to help you). Situationally, these may not matter, but the former is assertive, while the second one remains somewhat hypothetical/conditional. Awesome video! I am using as a cheat to get my wife up to speed. Thank you!

Exactly the lesson I have needed (for some time!) as I’ve always struggled to nail down those three structures - mostly because I rarely hear them being said! Evidently it’s the shorter, colloquial versions that tend to be used. So a big thank you from me. ¿A quien lo habría pensado?

Hi! Great video! So well explained. The phrase at 9:30 can also be said as “te hubiéramos podido ayudar” You can see the structure changes but it means the same. 👍

[@daniellean5769]

I have a question. I presume your a native spanish speaker. I was speaking with my tutor about this and she explained that on the day to day this are interchangeable but are slightly grammatically different. Poder + haber is a hypothesis and is usually followed by a conditional clause (I could have gone to the party but I didn't because you didn't call me), while Haber + poder is usually followed by a consequence (I would have been able to go to the beach but I had too much work). I would love your expertise on this, as it's a complicated subject for me (and most, english speakers). ❤ Salud!

[@PabloUliver-Bass-Guitar]

@@daniellean5769 Hello! Yes, I speak Spanish as my first language. I am Cuban and we have a slightly different variant like every Spanish-speaking country hehehe. All of these examples are very similar and interchangeable with each other. But with Spanish the same thing happens as with English, where the trend is towards simpler phrases even with words in other grammatical times that are similar but not the same. For example, the second sentence that you put here can be said in another way: ¨Yo hubiera ido a la fiesta¨... and it can be understood in the same way as ¨habría podido ir¨ + ¨podría haber ido¨. The conditional clause, or the consequence, can be implicit, or as we say ¨quedar entre dicho¨ (without having been said but it was assumed and understood). Or the other person in the conversation could have said it as a cause or justification. My advice is that you learn Spanish in a way appropriate to what you intend. If you want a very formal language, it is studied in a specific way, but if you want it less formal (but without the need to speak it vulgarly) then it will sound a little different but simpler. The important thing is to be understood, as when learning any language. Greetings! I hope I have been helpful. Espero haber sido de ayuda! o... espero haber ayudado...jejeje

[@daniellean5769]

[@geckosonic]

Very well done. No podria haber aprendido mas!

[@Florida2Philippines]

Just discovered your videos, thank you! That's the thing I hate about Spanish is there are a gazillion ways to say the same thing. And when you think you are on the right track you hear someone say that nobody talks like that in real life... So you still don't understand what people are saying despite all you know... And learning alone, I think you have a video on that, is quite challenging for me since I'm not good at setting up structure so I learn a little and then forget it anyway. Thanks again, appreciate what you do.

[@katy15231]

I think there’s a gazillion ways to say the same thing in every language. The only way to know how people actually talk, in my opinion, is just to listen to people talk a lot… That way you get used to hearing people talk and know what sounds natural just like you learned in your native language. It takes 100’s of hours of listening though. If native content is challenging, look into comprehensible input! @dreamingspanish is a good place to start

[@MegaModyx]

Debería haberte encontrado antes 🎉

[@markdavis7397]

For the last one, I asked a guy from Colombia one time, and he said "podíamos haberte ayudado" is also OK (i.e., the imperfect instead of conditional or preterite). He said all three options sounded acceptable to him. I don't know how widespread that is, I have only one datapoint.
