oh god i tried to explain i’d’ve and y’all’d’ve to a friend who is a korean exchange student and she just kind of stared at me in horror for a minute lmao
SOMEONE EXPLAIN???
y’all’d’ve is a triple contraction, which breaking it down is “you all would have”
compare to:
“you + all” -> “y’all”
“you + would” -> “you’d”
and
“ you + have” -> “you’ve”im sorry people learning english
