    Couldve Been by Tiffany


    While you listen

    1. Listen to the song once. Why is the singer sad?



    2. Now listen again and focus on the grammar. Listen for sentences with could have + past
    participle. Write them down.









    After you listen

    1. Things to think about and discuss
    In pairs, small groups, or as a whole class, share your answers to these questions:

    What things remind the singer of the past?


    Do you think that the singer chose to end the relationship, or do you think that her
    boyfriend chose to end it? Find evidence for your answer in the song.






    2. Grammar

    The singer in this song believes that her life could have been wonderful if her boyfriend had
    stayed with her. Write three sentences that describe this belief. Use if-clauses and would
    have + past participle.

    If her boyfriend had stayed, she would have had a beautiful life.

    3. Writing

    Have you ever thought about something that could have happened, but didnt? This can be
    a good thing or a bad thing.
    Use could have in your paragraph.
