Question of the Day 弋果一點通

“Could've” or “Could Of” ? 
Could've : could have的縮寫，這個縮寫最容易出錯之處，就是把ve發音成of。
Example:
You have to be more careful! You could have gotten hurt! (to show emphasis)
你要更小心，你很可能會受傷！

How to correct it: enunciate it properly ‘could've’ or ‘could have’.
The same goes for using “would of” or “should of.”
