PAST MODALS: could have | may have | might have | must have | should have | would have - GRAMMAR

Modal Verbs | past modals | could have | may have | might have | must have | should have | would have
Hi Everyone!
In today's video, we are going to look at PAST MODALS. I know there can be some confusion between 'could have | may have | might have | must have' should have | would have', so in today's lesson, I am going to explain the difference step-by-step.
I'll also help you PRONOUNCE these structures in a very natural way.

I wouldn’t have understood the precise meaning or nuance of these past modalities without this awesome educational video!! This channel should have been more popular among every English learner through YT. Well, it could’ve been hidden by those who wanted to keep this channel exclusively LOL.

[@rustampulodov7138]

Once I used to learn English by myself, but I found it too difficult that is why I left it. However, when I suddenly saw your channel and watched your videos I understood that it's possible learning English for me. So I have been learning English for one month and I am keeping it up with your videos. You are the best teacher ever. I am Gulnora and I am girl 28 years old. Please keep on Teaching us.

If the difference is big and you don't recommend using fundamental instead of important, what other advanced academic words which have the same meaning as "important" can you suggest?

[@-cristian6239]

Hi! I really enhoyed this lesson. I let a comment to another lesson and I have to say something about it. The lesson was 10 idioms and I was amazed by the fact that when I tried to recall the idioms it was extremely easy for me to do that because your examples remained in my mind due to their meaningfulness. I would really appreciate to see more videos about intermediate vocabulary with phrasal verbs or idioms, but my greatest desire regarding you is to see a video with all 12 tenses. I know this is tough work, only if you want or have time to do it. If this is impossible, I would appreciate at least for each tenses a short presentation, or only for those who are more difficult. I know this comment is too long, but I hope that you'll have time to read it. Have a wonderful day! Be blessed! ❤️
