使用する際の注意点

Like other similarly formed contractions, speakers only use shoulda to replace the modal sense of should have, i.e. where have precedes a past participle:  You shoulda gone. They do not use it to replace should followed by the verb have used lexically, e.g.  You shoulda some patience. See also gonna.
