Thanks.
But pls check this sentence for me.
1. He should had rehearsed before he came to the show.
2. He should have rehearsed before he comes to the show.
Pls wch of them is correct. Thanks in advance
none of the above; although number 2 is close to being correct.

Correct sentence should read: *He should have rehearsed before he came for the show*

"should had" is wrong. It should be "should have"

"Should" needs to be followed by an infinitive.

"Have" is the infinitive here,

A modal (would, should, could,must, etc) is always followed by the base form of a verb, i.e. the infinitive

Should "have"

Could "have"

Would "have"

Must "have"

Please what about "On the bus" and "in the bus" which is correct?
Both are correct cos they have different meaning.

On the bus = travelling by bus.

In the bus = your location ( inside the bus.)

What about in Ikeja and At Ikeja? tongue

"in Ikeja" is appropriate, it's a city and not a village
