Is should've a noun or pronoun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the contraction should've is a verb, a shortened form for the verbs 'should' and 'have'.
The contraction functions in a sentence as a verb or auxiliary verb.

Example:
We should have planned a little better.
We should've planned a little better.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.
Example:
Jack and Jill were late. The traffic was terrible. (the nouns 'Jack and Jill' are words for people; the noun 'traffic' is a word for a thing)

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
Example:
Jack and Jill were late. They should have planned a little better. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the nouns 'Jack and Jill' in the second sentence)
