Use of Would

Would has several complicated rules but at early stage, we need to teach one rule to the basic learners. This rule asks you to use ‘Would’ in future tense as ‘will’ is used. For example, your friend invites you to a party. You may say, “I would attend it” which means: You will attend the party. Here are some examples:

Examples

  1. I would go Nano home.
  2. I would play football.
  3. I would buy a chocolate. 
  4. I would eat apple. 
  5. I would watch cartoons. 
  1. I would eat chocolate.
  2. I would eat mango.
  3. I would eat vegetables.
  4. I would eat candies.
  5. I would eat burger.

Practice Through Dialogue

Mother: What would you like to have in breakfast?

Kid: _________________________________.
Mother: Would you like to have egg in breakfast?

Mother: What would you like to buy for me?
Kid: _________________________________.
Mother: Would you like to go with me?
Kid: _________________________________.
Mother: Would you please finish your homework?
Kid: _________________________________.

At early stage, do not focus on minor errors such as complicated prepositions. For a kid, ‘I would go school’ is just fine.
