Well, I'm feeling like a slacker today, so...

So, I swiped this from Alison, who swiped it from Allan, who swiped it from his brother, Mike, who swiped it from Bet. Hmmm, that was a lot of work. I should have just gone (formerly "went") straight to the source!

Sorry, Yibbyl, I can't help it. I'm an English teacher. And I know you know this, but it's 'should have gone'.
[feels better but hopes she hasn't offended]
Hi Ali! It's OK. You'd have to put forth more of an effort to offend me. So, you assume I know, huh? Let me guess, past perfect tense? (I learned more in my Latin classes, than English, but that's not your fault!)
Well, "have gone" would be the present perfect tense, and you've associated it with a modal, "should."
"Went" is the preterit of "go," which is, of course, an irregular verb.
Past perfect would be "had gone."
I wish I'd taken Latin.
I took Latin in middle school. Just about the only thing I remember is how to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in Latin.
Well, it did help be with my vocabulary as well.
