Hi Team,
please Help me..... I don´t understand the difference between :
For example:
You should have taken an umbrella. - You should take an umbrella.
Hello Bara
The difference between 'should' and 'should have' is explained on our Modals with 'have' page. Here, 'you should take' is referring to the present or future (for example, imagine that you know it is raining and you see that I'm leaving the house -- this would be a time to say 'you should take') and 'you should have taken' refers to the past (for example, if I come home wet from the rain, you could tell me 'you should have taken').
All the best

Why we say " Pietro didn't pass his exam. he shuld have studied harder " and we don't say " he should has studied harder " . thanks
Hello M.A.KH,
Should have is an example of a perfect modal verb and these verbs do not change their form. We use 'have' in all such examples:
should have
would have
won't have
could have
etc.

Scarecrow is spaventapasseri in italian, a very long word!
scarecrow means korkuluk in Turkish
I think we use "go along" if the thing is long,
and "go across" if it is not long.
is my perception right?
