People always regret what they have done. People always say I should be studying hard at school . I could be performing better in that interview . I shouldn’t be treating my parents like that.It’s not just what we are actually doing matters,the profile as a whole responsible for reasonable planning is extremely important.

People always regret what they have done. People always said that I should be studying hard at school, that I could have performed better in this or that interview or that I shouldn’t be treating my parents like that.
It’s not just what we are actually doing that matters, but planning things as a whole and setting reasonable planning are extremely important.
We should draw up a program which exact goal is to reach the most advanced level achievable. As for me, I must work pretty darn hard so that I can pass the exam in a month.
When expressing regrets, you often use ‘I could have done / I should have done’
this or that =
