In this lesson we have modals of obligation (for this gammar point have a look at the post of That's English! module 5, unit 8) but we also have SHOULD HAVE + past participle. This form is not exactly a recomendation but a regret. The main difference between simple and perfect should is the reference:
- SHOULD: it's referred to future and it means a piece of advice; you should go to the doctor's
- SHOULD HAVE: it's referred to past events and it means a regret or a complaint; you should have gone to the doctor's.
Apart from the grammar use and the meaning, we`ve seen how to pronounce it, especially with trird conditionals as you can see in this
video and this is an example with songs:
The Beatles or this song by
Kate Winslet

Just to finish with, here you are the song of the book:
