II. GRAMMAR (Could have and Should have)

 Function: Could have dùng để chỉ điều gì đó có thể diễn ra trong quá khứ, hoặc
những điều bạn có thể thực hiện nhưng đã không diễn ra. Ở dạng phủ định, could
not/couldn’t have nói về điều gì đó đã không thể xảy ra trong quá khứ mặc dù bạn rất muốn thực
hiện nó.

 E.g.:
- I could have stayed up late, but I decided to go to bed early. (Lẽ ra tôi có thể thức khuya
nhưng tôi đã quyết định đi ngủ sớm).

khuyên với ai đó về chuyện xảy ra trong quá khứ, hoặc tự bạn cảm thấy hối tiếc
về những điều mình đã làm hay không làm. Còn ở dạng phủ định, shouldn’t have có
nghĩa là đó không phải một ý tưởng hay, nhưng bạn đã lỡ làm nó.
