I would have cooked and sung for you. vs I could have cooked and sing for you

The correct phrase is "I would have cooked and sung for you." The use of "would have" indicates a hypothetical situation in the past, while the verbs "cooked" and "sung" are in the correct past participle form. On the other hand, "I could have cooked and sing for you" is incorrect because the verb "sing" should be in the past participle form "sung" to match the verb "cooked."
