Please remove the double have for would have not thx
Good evening Wes, "I would have not have" (or had after have always past participle or verb-3 ) "I would have not have finished the project without your help". I don't understand why you chose this phrase "would have not had" instead of using have. Thank you in advance for clarifying and for your valuable time, kind efforts and contribution to assist in our learning.
Thank you, so much sir Wes. This is so much helpful. 🤗 You're the best!

Cont: Wes was thinking he could have bought a smaller amount of carrot instead of the broccoli. Perhaps Wes wasn't able to change the past, he could not have had any carrot as his dinner. He would have gotten anything else but he had no money to buy anything else. Is it a good story? Thanks for the lesson!

A figurative situation: Wes doesn't like broccoli but the broccoli was on sale and everything was so expensive. So, Wes bought some broccoli, cooked it and ate it for dinner. He wasn't feeling right, so he thought he should not have eaten broccoli. What a blame!

It's still confusing for me using would have and could have because there are so many possible answers. And using could have sounds more natural to me, like... I could have gave him a ride. Using would have would be bit tricky for me and incomprehensible.

I should have planned my day in advance. I should not have checked the news so often. I should not have eaten so much chocolate. I could have watched this movie before. I had not had an English speaking partner therefore I could not have practiced my speaking skills. I would have learned about the process , but I spent time doing something different. I would not have known you without his recommendation to contact you . If I had not made a cake, I would not have made a surprise for you.
