- I'm going to show you 8 ways to use the modal verb WOULD:
1. In reported speech: "She said she'd call after lunch."
2. Making wishes about people's behavior:"I wish you'd listen to me!"
3. In unreal conditionals:"If I had more time, I'd take up yoga."
4. To mean "want": "I'd like to stay in and watch a movie tonight. You?"
5. To mean prefer: "I think I'd rather eat out tonight."
6. Polite offers: "Would you like some lemon with your water?"
7. Polite requests: "Would you mind saving this seat?"
8. To talk about past, habitual actions: "As a kid, I'd spend hours and hours at the beach, swimming and hunting for shells."
Would, just like other modal verbs, is a super verb that wears many different hats. You can use it to make offers, to complain about things, to make unreal conditional sentences, to talk about your past and more.
If you'd like more examples of how to use WOULD to talk about the past, and to see the difference between WOULD and USED TO, get the free worksheet for this lesson here: bit.ly/would_an...
