- Jane: I read about that man and his son who died in the desert.
- Jane: You know, he didn't take any water with him.
- Via: She should've taken some. Then he wouldn't have died of thirst.

Bentuk ini menunjukkan: Hal yang seharusnya dilakukan pada masa lampau, tetapi tidak dilakukan. Kita bisa menggunakan bentuk singkat sebagai berikut.

- He didn't drive carefully, but he should have (= he should have driven carefully)

Dan bentuk singkat lain, kali ini dengan didn't:

- I should've bought it, but I didn't.
- He should've told her, but he didn't.


OUGHT TO + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE

- Jane: Did you go to the meeting today?
- Dion: No, I didn't. I ought to have gone, but I didn't have enough time.

OUGHT TO HAVE mempunyai arti yang sama dengan should have, tetapi perhatikan bahwa ought selalu diikuti oleh to.

SHOULDN'T + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE

- Sisi: It's going to rain. We shouldn't have come to the match.
- Vera: I spent a lot of money today. I shouldn't have spent so much.

Bentuk ini menunjukkan hal yang tidak seharusnya untuk dilakukan pada masa lampau, tetapi sudah dilakukan. Contoh bentuk singkat yang sering kita pakai.

- I shouldn't have spent so much money, but I did.
- We came to the match, but we shouldn't have.
- We shouldn't have come to the match, but we did.

Catatan: oughtn't to have adalah bentuk yang sama, tetapi tidak sering dipakai seperti halnya bentuk shouldn't have.

NEEDN'T + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE

- You brought a coat! You know it wasn't necessary. it's quite hot today.
- You needn't have brought one!

- Boby wore a suit to the party, but it wasn't necessary. No one else wore a suit.
