Would has many different uses in English.
The first and most basic use of would is with polite requests; "I would like a glass of orange juice, please" for example. Or "Would you please move your car." Or "Would you like to go to the movies with me?"
Would is also used as a clause; "I would have finished my homework but my sister was sick and I took her to the hospital" or "I would like to take a vacation this year but I don't have enough money" or "Do you think those shoes would look good with these pants?"
These are just some basic examples. There are more complicated ways to use "would" but try to think of a few examples like the ones I gave you and you will start to understand what it means. Good luck!! |

I would that I could fly.
I would eat that in a second.
How would you use would?
It's imagining that something were possible; pretend that what you are saying is actually doable and then what follows is what 'would' happen if it were real....
? :P Dunno if thats what you mean... |

Would it be alright with you if I asked when would you use should instead of would? |
|
never you mind
|
One day, my dad asked me if I WOULD please chop some WOULD for the fire. I said WOULD go and get the WOULD, but WOULDn't it be better if I got it from the WOULD shed?
And that, my friends, is how to use the term "would" properly. |

Would indicates willingness or desire in a polite manner.
So: would you help me? Would you like tea?
But also as a past tense of will:
Do you think he would be okay with that?
She would have liked that. |

If you don't mind, could you just attempt to cross a super-freeway during rush hour, with your eyes glued shut. while trying to saw a piece of would in half with a steak knife? |
