I've stumpled upon this sentence "Jag borde ha köpt en borrmaskin", and
I was wondering whether you could re-create the same meaning by swapping
"borde" with "skulle", so the new sentence would be: "Jag skulle ha köpt en borrmaskin"?
Both sentences are in the past conditional and very much unreal, since I should have bought it,
but I really haven't, so now I don't have one (a drill).
Indeed "borde" and "skulle" seem to be quite interchangeable in this case at least, aren't they?
I'd appreciate any help with cracking this tough nut I've got.
