It’s no use + (verb + ing)

- It’s no use apologizing.
- It’s no use attempting to please him.
- It’s no use checking on it yet.
If I were you, I would + (verb):
You will use this structure to say in English what you would do if you were someone else. This structure is used for the present. For example, If I were you, I would enjoy the party.
Structure:
“If + (I) + were + (you/he/she/they) + would + first form of the verb.”

Structure:
“If + (I) + were + (you/he/she/they) + would have + past participle (V3).”
- If I were you, I would have done the same.
