You have to learn Modal Verb- Would to get a good job, basically to talk well in job interviews. And if you go to a social gathering with someone and they introduce you to the people of their acquaintance. So how do you communicate to those people in English, Would modal verb will tell you in a very beautiful way.
Simultaneously, if you go to the PTM of your children And you have to talk about the progress of the child with the teacher. Even then, Would Modal Verb will work in your conversation.
So here is the first sentence 👇
Let's assume you have an interview and you are calling HR and asking...
You have to make this sentence with the Would Modal Verb. It doesn't matter if it can't be done.
》I didn't know he would refuse.
Here also the modal verb would is needed.
Last sentence,
》Would you like to come with me?
If there is a friend then you can say,
》Do you want to come with me?
And if that guy is older than you and isn't your friend, then you will ask with - would. When you often speaking in the flow, so you do not realize that your clothes are not aligning properly. I believe you will not mind this. Because this is an interrogative question, Hence modal verb Would appear first here in the sentence. Similarly, to make any polite requests. you can use expression along Would- Would you mind... What it implies is that and the other person won't feel bad doing that work.
Let's see sentences here.
It simply implies you are asking a person to do such a thing if he doesn't mind doing that. You see, English is a very sweet language. And it does concern for etiquettes. If you want to say something in a formal way.That you should not do that work because you are having problems with that work. Then you will use this expression Would you mind along Would.
Second, you use would when you want to talk about the future in the past.
》I thought she would not come.
You got some feeling for the future in the past. Meaning you are talking about the actions of the future in the past. So we're going to use Would instead of using Will there. It comes out of the rules of direct and indirect.
》I didn't know this would happen.
Did not know about the future in the past.
》I had not thought this would happen.
Didn't think about the future in the past. As there are two actions here in the past perfect tense. Hence for the first section, had+v3 form. So this is how you use would to talk about the future in the past. You can use Would as in "Would like" if you are talking about your preferences. If there are two persons and the first person feels that the second person should work...
And if there's only one person and he wants to express his wish then...
But if the pattern is such that the first person wants the second person to get some work done. Then you would use 'to' after the second person right before the verb.
》Who'll talk here? Boss
》Like- I would you to talk to my boss.
There are two subjects here. The first subject wants to get the second subject to do the work. Hence 'To' will come after the second subject.
》I would like your manager to return my call.
A Lil bit complex sentence but it's very decent to speak.
There are two persons here, the first is my wish and you should do the action of that wish. You will be able to master the language only if you continue to practice speaking together.
》What time would you like me to come for the interview?
Look here also there are two persons. The first person wants the second person to tell him the time. Here you are asking the preference of the other person, at what time you should go for the interview. Very formal sentences to use in business English. The other person will be impressed.
Next, when the first person is trying to ask the choice of the second person, then ... It is equally important to understand the identity of Would and to understand the contrast of Would with other words. Would rather- instead, in addition, besides and better than doing this... Better we don't use 'use to' it will sound a bit informal. You must have read for Would that it is a companion of Will to use for the future. Maybe you've never heard of it before. But this use of Would is very interesting. And if you read many formal articles, you'll see the use of would for the past tense. wherever the past activities of anyone have been talked about.
For example, imaginary situations are like...
》If I had money, I would have done this.
》If I had met him, I would have done so.
