I would go on holiday.
Wait, the word would in this sentence could mean that going on holiday is something I prefer, something I recommend, something that could happen in the future, something that happened in the past, and something that will only happen if something else happens first.
Whoa. Would is a powerful word. In this video, I'm going to teach you the 12 different ways that we use would, which are essential if you want to have an advanced level of English.
Are you ready?
Okay, 12 different ways to use would. That's a lot to cover in one video. So I'm going to keep it as concise as possible. And I'll also leave a link below where you can download a full summary of this lesson with extra examples, too.
Right, we're going to start with four different ways we can use would in the past.
Then we'll look at four ways we can use it in the present, and then we'll look at how we can use it with conditionals and hypothetical futures.
Okay, let's start with the future in the past. What? Okay, well, basically, when we're talking about the past and from the perspective of a past event, but in that perspective, we're talking about the future, we use would.
Okay, it's always easier to look at these things with examples, so let's have a look.
I was confident, so I knew I would pass the test. Do you see? I was confident. That's the past situation. From that perspective of that past situation, we're talking about a future event, the test. I was confident that I would pass the test.
It might also be helpful for you to think that in this context, would is the past of will. In the present, this sentence would be
I am confident, so I think I will pass the test. But when we put everything into the past, it becomes
I was confident, so I thought I would pass the test. Okay, here's another example from a football match.
For example
At halftime, they were sure they would win the game. So again, we're looking at a future event, which is the end of the game from the perspective of a past situation, which is halftime.
In those situations, you need to use would. Okay, would is also used instead of will in reported speech or indirect speech. Look at these examples.
I will call you tomorrow. That is a direct speech.
That is what somebody says. I will call you tomorrow.
But when we're reporting that speech or we're telling you what he said, we have to say
He said he would call me tomorrow.
It will probably be sunny. That's direct speech.
She said it would probably be sunny. That's reported speech. So as you can see, we change will to would when we report what another person said in the past.

Nice ❤❤❤❤
great thanks a lot for effort but when i watch movie sometimes it is difficult to understand would so could u make the video on would with tv series? it will be help for us
Maybe video when we use "go on", "go for", "go to", For example "go for a run" It is quite confusing
Do video on reported speach, please!
It takes 5 minutes of your time to read this passage below (don't miss it !) all usages of "would" with example and explanation : 1- possible future in past Example: he would make new friends at school. (not a complete sentence and should be completed ) he would make new friends at school, but he doesn't go to school . (comma needed before but) the example above is unreal don't confuse it with "will": he will make new friends at school. (completed sentence , real possibility in future) 2- "would" in report speech: Example : he said, "I will call" Indirect report speech: he said (that) he would call. 3- "would" for repeated past actions or habitual actions in the past: we use "would" to refer to typical habitual past actions and events in the past . this is usually a formal use and it often occurs in stories ( narratives). the less formal way to use "would" in this situation is using the short form of "would" which is " 'd ". It is also known as a alternative to "used to " . In this usage of "would" we can't use it to talk about past state, in other words we can't use "would" with stative verbs such as love, feel , be , know, we must use "used to " . we can always use past simple as an alternative to "used to" or " would" to talk about past habits. The main difference is that the pat simple doesn't emphasize the repeated or continuous nature of the action or situation. The past simple doesn't make it so clear that the action is no longer true. If something happened only once we must use the past simple for example : I went to Egypt in 2014. I would go to Egypt in the past. (repeated action in the past) Note: "used to" + infinitive should not be confused with "be/get used to + ing " would should not be used unless it has already been established that the time frame is in the past, while "used to" does not require this. This example with "used to" at the Beginning sounds natural: I used to watch cartoons every Saturday morning when I was very little. "time frame past". however when used to is replaced with "would" the example above becomes awkward and unnatural, but if the past time frame is established before "would" appears, "would" sounds fine: when I was little I would get up and watch cartoons every Saturday morning. (sounds good) 4- willingness in the past : we usually use the negative form wouldn't in this case : The CD wasn't working so I brought it back to the shop but they wouldn't give me my money back. 5- make requests: it is more polite and indirect form of will : Will you make dinner ? (Direct ) Would you make dinner (indirect) 6- "would" phrases : would you like to + verb ... would you mind + ing would love 7- Being less direct: we often use "would" with verbs such as advice, imagine, recommend ,say, suggest, think, to make what we say less direct for example: I'd say you are about 40. I think it's much further. I'd advise you to keep working on your grammar. 8-Hypothetical situations: it would be great to travel often.(but we don't travel often) 9-"would" for preferences: I'd rather go to home. I'd rather you came another time. (note: the verb "came" is past subjunctive. If you don't know it search about subjunctive mood) We use "would" with wish to talk about things we want people to do or not to do. Example: I wish my dad wouldn't smoke. 10- "would" in conditional sentences: Second conditional example: If I had more money, I would buy that shirt.(unreal present) Third conditional example : If I had had more money, I would have bought that shirt yesterday.(unreal past) Mix conditional example : If I had gone to university, I would be successful now. I would have gone to the concert if I wouldn't have important works to do. 11- "Would" for criticise: She arrived late to class yesterday. Well, she would, she's late for everything.
sir i have been facing problem understating has been + noun or adjective could you make the video on this topic
Great video! Just one question: is that okay to use "please" with the structure "would you mind+v-ing..."? Doesn't it sound weird? Like, would you please mind....? 🤔
Yessss... reported speech WOULD be appreciated 😅😊
Please Sir, I'd like to know the difference between wish + p.p. vs wish + would...
Sir , please suggest us how can we learn English literature.Please suggest some KZread channel where we can learn English literature or make some videos about English literature
Hello sir, please clear our doubts . He said he would call me tomorrow. In this sentence there are two clauses subordinate clause and principal clause. The principal clause is in the simple past tense, and in subordinate clause we cannot use "tomorrow" provided that the statement in subordinate clause is not a universal truth or habitual facts or proverb. Please sir elucidate this.
I thin I will be watch this video in order finally solidify this 'would' in my brain :D Because I still doesn't grasp it fully.
Some ways of using "would" are logical for a French speaker, because the grammar rule is often similar. (Unhappily, a lot of French people don't speak well their own language ..😢)
❤❤❤
It would be a lie, if I say I haven't caused the problem. What is the use of would here, Could you plz explain this?
you're the best teacher that i've fonund in you tube.i love your way to explain things and grammar. thanks Greg teacher !! thanks from belgium .
would it be ok to watch these vidios again and again?
You are a Very Very good teacher and also damn cute ! Greetins from Brazil
i want to learn about reported speech.
💕
Mate, I don't need any grammar lessons or anything but I still watch your vids cuz they are cool as fuck and I like your peasant cap lol.
Rise & shine . I have a doubt. "He said he would call me tomorrow." Is this sentence correct? How can you use "tomorrow" ? I think the correct reported speech would be " He said he would call me the next day." Would you please explain about it a little bit .
