Or, should’ve, would’ve, could’ve. Or even, should’a, would’a, could’a.

It's shoulda, woulda, coulda. No apostrophe.

I agree with the grammar, but I would suggest for #1, "a lot" is still the subje

When used with a countable noun, "there are a lot" should be used. Examples....

CB has too many experts already, we don't need a perambulating lexicon, too
