When it comes to learn a foreign language, it becomes a daunting task for most of the learners, especially for them whose mother languages are different. They look for translating it into English from their mother language. Later, they find this way not up to the mark.
We suggest you here to learn situational english rather than translating. In this approach, we here teach you some of the crucial concepts of english.
Today, it's time to learn the Uses Of Would.
Uses Of Would
- Used for expressing preferences or choices. Word 'Rather' is also used for these sentences.
Example- I would rather take tea than coffee.
- If the beginning clause is in the past, then the next clause must be in the same clause. Here would is used instead of will.
Example- I said that he would not dance here.

Example-
I used to go to school by bus. I would return on foot.
We played for hours.

Example-
If I were a bird, I would fly.
