Grammar
Sentences I need help on.
Please if you could correct and tell me if these sentences are grammatically correct.
1. You speak English very well. And Your English is very good.
2. Not enough players so we forfeited. Or should it be not enough players so we forfeit. (talking about a past event)
3. Which is in use: Heavier workload or Larger workload. (Job workload)
4. Should've called you yesterday/last night.
Is should've considered past present tense? If so could it be used with yesterday/last night? I thought with the ppt usage, specific timeframes such as yesterday/last night aren't allowed.
5. Would it be ok if I stay/stayed at your place tonight? Are both ok?
(Asking a friend if I could stay the night.)

2. There were not enough players so we forfeited.
3. Heavier workload
4. Should've called you yesterday/last night.-- It is a present perfect form used for past time. This is idiomatic to the auxiliary verbs. The past time point reference is fine.
