Have you ever heard it?
Let’s figure it out!
They are informal expressions that mean: could have, would have and should have.
They indicate possible conditions, which are called “wishful thinking”.
In the dictionary: “An expression of regret or disappointmentconcerning a statement, question, explanation, course of action, or occurrence involving hypothetical possibilities, uncertain facts, or missed opportunities.”
For example, we spend our days wondering if we had a lot of money, if we met our soul mate or if we studied instead of wasting time.
> Man, I wish I had bought Apple stock ten years ago.
> Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
Hope you like it!
Have you all a nice week 😉
