Here's a question for fellow teachers - I like teaching "could do with" as it's such a common phrase yet I can't recall ever coming across it in any course or grammar books.
But what is it? Is it a model verb? It follows the same form (e.g. the past being "could have done with") Is it a phrasal verb? I can't even find it in the grammar books I have to hand.
I'd like to hear people's ideas.
Thanks
