Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to feed back what he hears to the speaker, by way of re-stating or paraphrasing what he has heard in his own words, to confirm what he has heard and moreover, to confirm the understanding of both parties. The ability to listen actively demonstrates sincerity, and that nothing is being assumed or taken for granted. Naturally, it improves personal relationships, reduces misunderstanding and conflicts, strengthens cooperation, and fosters understanding. It is proactive, accountable and professional. Listening, therefore, is an active part of communication. When you are too emotionally involved in listening, you tend to hear what you want to hear--not what is actually being said. Try to remain objective and open-minded. That is about active listening. read less

How to use the below pattern in english? Could+have+been In the above pattern some times we use "been" & many times we don't use. Example: 1. It could have been better, if you were attended the party. 2. I could have gone to the party. Thanks
I think your example should read "It would have been better, if you attended the party" we use could have when there is another option, eg He could have washed the dishes, but he chose to watch tv
