Can anyone explain the difference between should have and must have in Malayalam with examples?
This questions deals with a question about another language and words that may appear to be nonsense to a bot versed in English are legitimate.
'Should have' means 'venamayirunnu/vendathayirunnu/vendathundayirunnu'. (e.g. If he had broken your pen, you should have beat him. (Avan thankalude pen odichenkil, thankal avane thallanamayirunnu/thallendathayirunnu/thallendathundayirunnu.) 'Must have' means' 'undakum/undakam'. (e.g. He must have departed early. (Avan nerathe poyittundakum/poyittundakam.) More example with the modal auxiliaries. (Could have beat = Thallamayirunnu/thallanakumayirunnu. Would have beat = Thalliyene/thallumayirunnu. Might have beat = Thallumayirikkum/thalliyittundayirikkum.)

Why is it He is taking a shower and not He is doing or making a shower Is there an easy explanation?
One definition of take is "To participate in, undergo, or experience."
'Doing a shower' is an awkward phrase and better replaced by simply 'showering.'
'Making a shower' is actually the act of building the device we use to clean ourselves.
'Having a shower' is acceptable and means the same thing as 'taking a shower.' I think in this case, the difference is geographical. I believe it is more common to 'have a shower' in Britain and 'take a shower' in the US.
Is it correct to say students that's incompetent?
The meaning is unclear, but I can think of no case in which that would be the correct phrasing to use.
