Grammar Girl: WOULD/COULD/SHOULD HAVE

POSTGG


Today's tip is a simple, simple, simple one!

I see a lot of this in fan fiction, and I think it happens because we often write 'phonetically' and, therefore, overlook this simple boo boo.

Here it comes...

Incorrect: 'would of', 'could of', 'should of', 'may of'...

Correct: 'would have', 'could have', 'should have', 'may have'...

Agreed?

Agreed...
