Oxford Online English, How to Use Would in English - English Modal Verbs

How to Use Would in English - English Modal Verbs

Hi, I'm Mike. Welcome to Oxford Online English. In this lesson, you can learn about the modal

verb 'would' in English. Would you like to learn more about 'would' and what it means?

If I asked you to tell me all the meanings and uses of 'would' right now would you be

able to? Like all modal verbs, 'would' can have many different meanings. These different

meanings aren't connected to each other, which can make it difficult to work out what 'would'

means in different sentences or situations. In this class, you'll see all the uses of

'would' and meanings. Let's start with the most important use of 'would'.

Imagine your friend asks you:

What would you do if you were attacked by a shark?

Why does your friend use would in this question? And how should you answer?

Probably, your answer would also include would. Maybe something like:

I'd probably try to hit it on the nose, or poke it in the eye, or something like that.

Maybe I'd just try to swim away.

So, any ideas? Why do we use would here?

It's because getting attacked by a shark is very unlikely. We use would when we talk

about things which are either very unlikely, or totally impossible.

For example:

What would you do if you could read people's thoughts?

Reading people's thoughts is impossible, so we use would. It's a question about an

imaginary situation.

I would help you if I could.

I can't help you, so I use would to show that it's impossible. This is like saying,

“I can't help you.”

She would be here, but he has too much work at the moment.

She's not here, although she would be if she didn't have so much work.

In all of these cases, when you use would, you're talking about a situation which isn't

true, and which you think will never happen.

That's what it means when you use would like this. You're saying, “I think this

thing will never happen.”

If I won the lottery, I would…

You say would because you don't think you'll ever win the lottery.

You can use would have plus a past participle to talk about the past in the same way. For

example:

What would you have said if she'd seen you? She didn't see you, so you didn't say

anything to her. I'm asking you a question about an imaginary situation. I'm saying,

“Imagine a different version of the past, where she did see you…”

I wouldn't have come if I'd known it was going to go on so late.

I didn't know it was going to go on so late, so I did come, but now I regret it! Imagine

you're at an event and you have to get up early tomorrow. The event goes on much later

than you expected, so you say this.

He wouldn't have been much help, anyway.

He wasn't there, so he couldn't help, but even if he had been there, he wouldn't

have been able to help us.

This is the most common way to use would, and probably the most complicated. However,

would has many other uses.

Let's look!

If you want to ask someone to do something for you, using would in your request can make

it sound more polite.

For example:

Can you tell me the time? Will you get me a sandwich?

I want something to eat.

All of these requests are quite informal. That can be fine, depending on the situation,

but sometimes you want to be a bit more formal, so that you sound polite.

Would can be useful here. Look at the sentences. Can you see how to use would?

Okay, let's check your ideas:

Would you mind telling me the time? Would you get me a sandwich?

I'd like something to eat.

Using would you mind + -ing is a very polite way to make a request.

You can also use would in place of will in a request. This makes it a little more formal

and polite.

Finally, using would like instead of want is better, unless you're in a very informal

situation.

To be clear, these aren't the only ways to use would. There are other possible answers.

For example, you could say:

Tell me the time, would you? Would you mind getting me a sandwich?

These are possible, but the first answers I gave you are the most obvious.

Also, let's get something clear: there's no connection between these different uses

of would.

If you use would to make a polite request, like you're doing here, there's no connection

with the idea of imaginary or unreal situations that you saw in part one.

Okay, let's move on and look at another way to use would.

Imagine you have a friend who's always late for everything. You're meeting your friend

tomorrow, and you're really annoyed that you always have to wait. You tell your friend

to be on time, and she replies:

I'll be on time, I promise! I'll get an earlier bus, which will get to the centre

by 3.00.

Now, imagine that it's a few days later, and you want to tell me what your friend said

to you. How would you do it?

You would say something like:

My friend promised she'd be on time. She said she'd get an earlier bus, which she

said would arrive by 3.00. Of course, when she turned up it was nearly 4.00!

Do you see what's happening here?

Every time your friend says will, you say would when you're talking about what your

friend said.

English learners often say something like, “Would is the past tense of will.” That's

true sometimes, but not generally.

For example, for the uses of would you saw in parts one and two, it's not helpful or

accurate to say that would is the past tense of will.

However, in reported speech, it's a good way to think about it.

There's one more case where would has a past meaning connected to will.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Both will and would can have the meaning of refusing to do something. For example:

I'll ask him, but he won't help me. He'll refuse to help me (in the future).

I asked him, but he wouldn't help me. He refused to help me (in the past).

In this case, you can use would as the past version of will.

You can use this to talk about people:

They wouldn't give me my money back, even though I had the receipt.

They refused to give me my money back.

You can also use it to talk about things:

My car wouldn't start this morning. My car ‘refused' to start. Okay, cars

can't literally refuse to start, but we often talk about machines, computers and things

like that in this way.

Here's a similar example:

When he tried to show me, the file wouldn't open.

So here and in part three—reported speech—the meanings of will and would are connected.

When you're thinking about how to use will and would, it's important to remember that

sometimes the meanings are connected, and sometimes they're completely different.

We'll come back to this point at the end of the lesson.

There's one more way to use would that we need to look at:

You can use would to talk about things you did in the past, but don't do now.

For example:

My mum would walk us to school when we were little.

When I was training for the marathon, I would go running for two hours every day after work.

It was exhausting!

Would is similar to used to here, but it's not exactly the same.

When you use would like this, you can only talk about repeated actions in the past. You

can't talk about states and situations, like you can with used to.

So, you can't say:

I would live in a small flat with my friends when I was a student.

That's not correct, because live is a state, not an action.

However, this sentence is okay:

I would go out with my friends most evenings when I was a student.

This is fine, because go out is an action.

So, now you've seen all the different ways you can use would in English.

Let's review what you've learned today.

Would has five common uses in English. It can be used:

To talk about imaginary or unreal situations. To make polite requests.

In reported speech, as the past version of will.

To mean ‘refused to'. To talk about repeated actions in the past.

When you're learning about how to use would, one of the most important things to get clear

in your head is the relationship between will and would.

Sometimes will and would are connected: if you're using reported speech, or using would

to mean ‘refused to', then would behaves like a past version of will.

However, in the other uses of would, there is no connection between will and would. In

fact, in the most common use of would—talking about imaginary or unreal situations—will

and would have almost opposite meanings.

For example, if someone says, “I'll help you,” with will, you can expect them to

help you, in reality.

If someone says, “I would help you,” with would, then you shouldn't expect them to

help you. Will and would have completely different meanings here.

It's also good to remember that the different uses of would aren't connected to each other

at all. The meaning of would depends completely on the sentence and the situation.

Finally, would can refer to different times depending on how you're using would. For

example:

I would come tomorrow, but I've already made other plans.

Would you pass me that blue bag? I asked them to change my ticket, but they

wouldn't do anything.

These three sentences are about the future, the present and the past, respectively.

So you can't say what time would refers to by itself. It can refer to any time depending

on the meaning and the context.

Most importantly, would doesn't necessarily have a past meaning. Sometimes it does, but

it can also refer to the present or the future. Thanks a lot for watching!

This is the most common way to use would, and probably the most complicated. However, |||||||||||||复杂| Dies ist die gebräuchlichste Art der Verwendung von would und wahrscheinlich die komplizierteste. Jedoch, これはwouldを使う最も一般的な方法であり、おそらく最も複雑であろう。しかし

would has many other uses. würde hat viele andere Verwendungen.

Let's look!

If you want to ask someone to do something for you, using would in your request can make |||||||||||||||请求|| |||||||||||||||request|| Wenn Sie jemanden bitten möchten, etwas für Sie zu tun, verwenden Sie would in Ihrer Anfrage

it sound more polite. es klingt höflicher.

For example:

Can you tell me the time? Will you get me a sandwich? Kannst du mir sagen wie spät es ist? Bringst du mir ein Sandwich?

I want something to eat. Ich will etwas zu essen haben.

All of these requests are quite informal. That can be fine, depending on the situation, |||||相当|非正式|||||||| |||requests|||informal|||||||| All diese Anfragen sind ziemlich informell. Das kann gut sein, je nach Situation, 이 모든 요청은 매우 비공식적입니다. 상황에 따라서는 괜찮을 수도 있습니다,

but sometimes you want to be a bit more formal, so that you sound polite. aber manchmal möchten Sie etwas formeller sein, damit Sie höflich klingen.

Would can be useful here. Look at the sentences. Can you see how to use would? 는 여기서 유용할 수 있습니다. 문장을 보세요. would를 어떻게 사용하는지 보이시나요?

Okay, let's check your ideas: Okay, lassen Sie uns Ihre Ideen überprüfen:

Would you mind telling me the time? Would you get me a sandwich? Würdest du mir die Uhrzeit sagen? Würdest du mir ein Sandwich bringen?

I'd like something to eat. me gustaría|||| Ich möchte etwas essen.

Using would you mind + -ing is a very polite way to make a request. Die Verwendung von would you mind + -ing ist eine sehr höfliche Art, eine Anfrage zu stellen.

You can also use would in place of will in a request. This makes it a little more formal Sie können in einer Anfrage auch would anstelle von will verwenden. Dadurch wird es etwas förmlicher 요청에 의향 대신 would를 사용할 수도 있습니다. 이렇게 하면 좀 더 격식을 차릴 수 있습니다.

and polite.

Finally, using would like instead of want is better, unless you're in a very informal Schließlich ist die Verwendung von would like anstelle von want besser, es sei denn, Sie sind sehr informell 最後に、wantの代わりにwould likeを使うのがよい。 마지막으로, 매우 비공식적인 상황이 아니라면 want 대신 would like를 사용하는 것이 더 좋습니다.

situation.

To be clear, these aren't the only ways to use would. There are other possible answers. Um es klar zu sagen, dies sind nicht die einzigen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten von would. Es gibt andere mögliche Antworten. はっきり言って、wouldの使い方はこれだけではない。他にも可能な答えはある。

For example, you could say:

Tell me the time, would you? Would you mind getting me a sandwich? Sag mir die Uhrzeit, ja? Würde es Ihnen etwas ausmachen, mir ein Sandwich zu besorgen?

These are possible, but the first answers I gave you are the most obvious. |||||||||||||明显 Diese sind möglich, aber die ersten Antworten, die ich Ihnen gegeben habe, sind die offensichtlichsten. これらの可能性はあるが、最初にあげた答えが最も明白だ。

Also, let's get something clear: there's no connection between these different uses Lassen Sie uns auch etwas klarstellen: Es gibt keine Verbindung zwischen diesen verschiedenen Verwendungen また、はっきりさせておきたいのは、これらの異なる用途に関連性はないということだ。 또한 다음과 같은 서로 다른 용도 사이에는 아무런 연관성이 없다는 점을 분명히 해두겠습니다.

of would. von würde.

If you use would to make a polite request, like you're doing here, there's no connection もし、あなたがここでやっているような丁寧な要求をするためにwouldを使うのであれば、何のつながりもない 여기서처럼 정중하게 요청할 때 would를 사용하면 연결이 되지 않습니다.

with the idea of imaginary or unreal situations that you saw in part one. ||||||imaginary||||||| mit der Idee von imaginären oder irrealen Situationen, die Sie in Teil eins gesehen haben. 第1部で見たような、想像上の、あるいは非現実的な状況というアイデアで。 파트 1에서 보았던 상상 또는 비현실적인 상황에 대한 아이디어와 함께 말이죠.

Okay, let's move on and look at another way to use would. Okay, gehen wir weiter und schauen uns eine andere Möglichkeit an, would zu verwenden.

Imagine you have a friend who's always late for everything. You're meeting your friend Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie haben einen Freund, der für alles immer zu spät kommt. Du triffst deinen Freund 매번 지각하는 친구가 있다고 상상해 보세요. 친구를 만나기로 했습니다.

tomorrow, and you're really annoyed that you always have to wait. You tell your friend ||||烦恼|||||||||| ||||aborrecido|||||||||| morgen, und du ärgerst dich wirklich, dass du immer warten musst. Du sagst es deinem Freund

to be on time, and she replies: ||||||replies pünktlich zu sein, und sie antwortet:

I'll be on time, I promise! I'll get an earlier bus, which will get to the centre Ich komme pünktlich, versprochen! Ich nehme einen früheren Bus, der ins Zentrum kommt 時間通りに行くよ、約束する!もっと早いバスに乗れば、中心部まで行けるから 약속할게요, 제시간에 갈게요! 더 일찍 버스를 타면 센터까지 갈 수 있어요.

by 3.00.

Now, imagine that it's a few days later, and you want to tell me what your friend said Stellen Sie sich jetzt vor, es ist ein paar Tage später und Sie möchten mir sagen, was Ihr Freund gesagt hat さて、数日後、あなたはその友人が言ったことを私に話したいのだとしよう。 이제 며칠이 지난 후 친구가 다음과 같이 말했다고 가정해 보겠습니다.

to you. How would you do it? für dich. Wie würdest du es machen?

You would say something like:

My friend promised she'd be on time. She said she'd get an earlier bus, which she ||promised||||||||||||| |||ella estaría||||||||||||

said would arrive by 3.00. Of course, when she turned up it was nearly 4.00! |||||||她||||| ||||||||apareció|||| sagte, würde um 3.00 Uhr ankommen. Als sie auftauchte, war es natürlich fast 4 Uhr! 3:00には到着すると言っていた。もちろん、彼女が現れたときには4時近くになっていた!

Do you see what's happening here?

Every time your friend says will, you say would when you're talking about what your Jedes Mal, wenn dein Freund will sagt, sagst du would, wenn du darüber sprichst, was du willst 친구가 '의지'라고 말할 때마다, 여러분은 '하겠습니다'라고 말합니다.

friend said.

English learners often say something like, “Would is the past tense of will.” That's ||||||||||verb form||| Englischlernende sagen oft so etwas wie „Would is the past tense of will“. Das ist 英語学習者はよく "Wouldはwillの過去形だ "などと言う。それは

true sometimes, but not generally. ||但|| そうであることもあるが、そうでないこともある。

For example, for the uses of would you saw in parts one and two, it's not helpful or ||||||||||||||||útil| 例えば、パート1とパート2で見たようなwouldの使い方では、役に立たなかったり、あるいは、そのような使い方はできない。 예를 들어 파트 1과 2에서 보신다면의 용도의 경우 도움이 되지 않거나

accurate to say that would is the past tense of will. précis|||||||||| exacto|||||||||| preciso|||||||||| would는 의지의 과거형이라고 말하는 것이 정확합니다.

However, in reported speech, it's a good way to think about it. ||reported||||||||| In berichteter Rede ist es jedoch eine gute Möglichkeit, darüber nachzudenken. しかし、報告されたスピーチでは、それを考えるのは良い方法だ。 그러나 보고된 연설에서는 이를 생각해 보는 것도 좋은 방법입니다.

There's one more case where would has a past meaning connected to will. Es gibt noch einen weiteren Fall, in dem would eine vergangene Bedeutung hat, die mit will verbunden ist. もうひとつ、wouldがwillと結びついた過去の意味を持つケースがある。

Do you know what I'm talking about? Weißt du, worüber ich rede?

Both will and would can have the meaning of refusing to do something. For example: |||||||||拒绝||||| |||||||||declining||||| |||||||||recusando||||| Sowohl wollen als auch würden können die Bedeutung haben, sich zu weigern, etwas zu tun. Zum Beispiel: willもwouldも、何かを拒否するという意味を持つことがある。例えば 의지와 의향은 모두 어떤 일을 거부한다는 의미를 가질 수 있습니다. 예를 들어

I'll ask him, but he won't help me. He'll refuse to help me (in the future). |||||||||decline|||||| |||||||||recusar|||||| Ich werde ihn fragen, aber er wird mir nicht helfen. Er wird sich weigern, mir (in Zukunft) zu helfen.

I asked him, but he wouldn't help me. He refused to help me (in the past). Ich habe ihn gefragt, aber er wollte mir nicht helfen. Er weigerte sich, mir (in der Vergangenheit) zu helfen. 私は彼に尋ねたが、彼は助けてくれなかった。彼は(過去に)私を助けることを拒否した。 제가 부탁했지만 그는 저를 도와주지 않았어요. 그는 (과거에도) 저를 도와주지 않았어요.

In this case, you can use would as the past version of will.

You can use this to talk about people:

They wouldn't give me my money back, even though I had the receipt. ||||||||||||proof of purchase Sie gaben mir mein Geld nicht zurück, obwohl ich die Quittung hatte. 영수증을 가지고 있는데도 돈을 돌려주지 않았습니다.

They refused to give me my money back.

You can also use it to talk about things:

My car wouldn't start this morning. My car ‘refused' to start. Okay, cars ma|||||||||||| Mein Auto sprang heute Morgen nicht an. Mein Auto „weigerte“ sich zu starten. Gut, Autos 今朝、私の車は始動しなかった。私の車は始動を『拒否』した。オーケー、車

can't literally refuse to start, but we often talk about machines, computers and things 不能|确实|||||||||||| ||||||||||machines||| しかし、私たちはよく機械やコンピューターや物事について話す。 말 그대로 시작을 거부 할 수는 없지만 우리는 종종 기계, 컴퓨터 및 사물에 대해 이야기합니다.

like that in this way. 像这样|||| このように。 이런 식으로요.

Here's a similar example: 似たような例を挙げよう:

When he tried to show me, the file wouldn't open. Als er versuchte, es mir zu zeigen, ließ sich die Datei nicht öffnen. 彼が私に見せようとしたとき、ファイルは開かなかった。 파일을 보여 주려고 해도 파일이 열리지 않았습니다.

So here and in part three—reported speech—the meanings of will and would are connected. つまり、ここと第3部のスピーチでは、willとwouldの意味がつながっている。 따라서 여기와 3부 보고 연설에서 의지와 의지의 의미는 서로 연결되어 있습니다.

When you're thinking about how to use will and would, it's important to remember that willとwouldの使い分けを考えるとき、次のことを覚えておくことが重要だ。

sometimes the meanings are connected, and sometimes they're completely different.

We'll come back to this point at the end of the lesson. Wir kommen am Ende der Lektion auf diesen Punkt zurück.

There's one more way to use would that we need to look at: Es gibt noch eine weitere Möglichkeit, würde zu verwenden, die wir uns ansehen müssen:

You can use would to talk about things you did in the past, but don't do now. Du kannst would verwenden, um über Dinge zu sprechen, die du in der Vergangenheit getan hast, aber jetzt nicht tust. 과거에 했으나 지금은 하지 않는 일에 대해 이야기할 때 would를 사용할 수 있습니다.

For example:

My mum would walk us to school when we were little. 我|||||||||| Ma|||||||||| Als wir klein waren, begleitete uns meine Mutter zur Schule. 小さい頃、ママが学校まで送ってくれたんだ。

When I was training for the marathon, I would go running for two hours every day after work. |||训练|||||||||||||| |||||||je||||||heures|||| ||||||marathon||||||||||| ||||||||solía||||||||| Als ich für den Marathon trainierte, ging ich jeden Tag nach der Arbeit zwei Stunden laufen. マラソンの練習をしていた頃は、毎日仕事が終わってから2時間走っていた。

It was exhausting! ||draining Es war anstrengend! 疲れたよ!

Would is similar to used to here, but it's not exactly the same. would ist ähnlich wie used to here, aber es ist nicht genau dasselbe. Would는 여기서 사용하는 것과 비슷하지만 완전히 동일하지는 않습니다.

When you use would like this, you can only talk about repeated actions in the past. You |||||||||||repeated actions||||| Wenn Sie dies verwenden, können Sie nur über wiederholte Aktionen in der Vergangenheit sprechen. Du 이 기능을 사용하면 과거에 반복된 행동에 대해서만 이야기할 수 있습니다. You

can't talk about states and situations, like you can with used to. 不能||||||||||| kann nicht wie früher über Zustände und Situationen sprechen. 예전처럼 상태와 상황에 대해 이야기할 수 없습니다.

So, you can't say:

I would live in a small flat with my friends when I was a student. |||||小||||||||| Als Student lebte ich mit meinen Freunden in einer kleinen Wohnung. 学生時代は友人たちと小さなアパートに住んでいた。 학창 시절 친구들과 함께 작은 아파트에서 살았어요.

That's not correct, because live is a state, not an action. Das ist nicht richtig, denn Leben ist ein Zustand, keine Handlung.

However, this sentence is okay:

I would go out with my friends most evenings when I was a student. Als ich Student war, ging ich an den meisten Abenden mit meinen Freunden aus.

This is fine, because go out is an action.

So, now you've seen all the different ways you can use would in English.

Let's review what you've learned today. Lassen Sie uns überprüfen, was Sie heute gelernt haben.

Would has five common uses in English. It can be used: Würde hat fünf gemeinsame Verwendungen im Englischen. Es kann benutzt werden:

To talk about imaginary or unreal situations. To make polite requests. Über imaginäre oder unwirkliche Situationen sprechen. Um höfliche Bitten zu stellen.

In reported speech, as the past version of will. In der gemeldeten Rede, wie die vergangene Version des Willens. 보고된 연설에서 과거 버전의 유언장처럼.

To mean ‘refused to'. To talk about repeated actions in the past. se recusou a||||||||||| Bedeutet "abgelehnt". Um über wiederholte Aktionen in der Vergangenheit zu sprechen. '거부하다'라는 뜻입니다. 과거에 반복된 행동에 대해 이야기합니다.

When you're learning about how to use would, one of the most important things to get clear ||||||||一个|||||||弄清楚|清楚 Wenn Sie lernen, wie man würde, ist eines der wichtigsten Dinge, die Sie klarstellen müssen Wouldの使い方を学ぶとき、最も重要なことのひとつは、次のことを明確にすることだ。

in your head is the relationship between will and would. in deinem kopf ist die beziehung zwischen wille und würde. 는 의지와 의지의 관계입니다.

Sometimes will and would are connected: if you're using reported speech, or using would willとwouldがつながっていることもある。

to mean ‘refused to', then would behaves like a past version of will. ||||||表现|||||| ||||||behave|||||| zu bedeuten "abgelehnt", dann würde sich wie eine vergangene Version des Willens verhalten.

However, in the other uses of would, there is no connection between will and would. In

fact, in the most common use of would—talking about imaginary or unreal situations—will tatsächlich, in der gebräuchlichsten Verwendung von would – wenn es um imaginäre oder unwirkliche Situationen geht – wird 実際、wouldの最も一般的な用法は、想像上の、あるいは非現実的な状況について話すことである。

and would have almost opposite meanings. und hätte fast entgegengesetzte Bedeutungen. と、ほとんど正反対の意味を持つだろう。

For example, if someone says, “I'll help you,” with will, you can expect them to Wenn zum Beispiel jemand willentlich sagt: „Ich helfe dir“, kannst du erwarten, dass er es tut 例えば、誰かが意志を持って「手伝うよ」と言ったら、あなたはその人に次のようなことを期待できる。

help you, in reality.

If someone says, “I would help you,” with would, then you shouldn't expect them to |||||||||||no deberías||| もし、誰かが「私はあなたを助けるでしょう」と言ったとしても、その人がそうすることを期待すべきではない。 누군가 "내가 도와줄게"라고 말했을 때 'would'를 붙인다면, 그 사람이 다음과 같은 일을 할 것이라고 기대해서는 안 됩니다.

help you. Will and would have completely different meanings here. あなたを助ける。Willとwouldは、ここではまったく異なる意味を持つ。

It's also good to remember that the different uses of would aren't connected to each other Es ist auch gut, sich daran zu erinnern, dass die verschiedenen Verwendungen von would nicht miteinander verbunden sind また、wouldのさまざまな用途が互いに関連しているわけではないことも覚えておくといいだろう。

at all. The meaning of would depends completely on the sentence and the situation. überhaupt. Die Bedeutung von would hängt ganz vom Satz und der Situation ab. at all.wouldの意味は文と状況に完全に依存する。

Finally, would can refer to different times depending on how you're using would. For ||||||||||you are||| Schließlich kann sich would auf unterschiedliche Zeiten beziehen, je nachdem, wie Sie would verwenden. Zum 最後に、wouldは使い方によって異なる時間を指すことができる。例えば

example: Beispiel:

I would come tomorrow, but I've already made other plans. je||||||||| Ich würde morgen kommen, aber ich habe schon andere Pläne. 明日も来たいけど、もう他の予定が入っているんだ。

Would you pass me that blue bag? I asked them to change my ticket, but they 能||||||||||||||| Würdest du mir die blaue Tasche reichen? Ich bat sie, mein Ticket zu ändern, aber sie その青いバッグを取ってくれる?チケットの変更を頼んだが 저 파란색 가방 좀 주시겠어요? 티켓을 바꿔달라고 했더니

wouldn't do anything. würde nichts tun. 는 아무것도 하지 않을 것입니다.

These three sentences are about the future, the present and the past, respectively. ||||||||||||分别 ||||||||||||in that order Diese drei Sätze handeln jeweils von der Zukunft, der Gegenwart und der Vergangenheit. この3つの文章は、それぞれ未来、現在、過去について述べている。 이 세 문장은 각각 미래, 현재, 과거에 대한 내용입니다.

So you can't say what time would refers to by itself. It can refer to any time depending |||||||would indicate|||||||||| だから、それだけで時間を指すとは言えない。どの時間を指すかは 따라서 시간 자체가 무엇을 가리키는지 말할 수 없습니다. 다음에 따라 모든 시간을 나타낼 수 있습니다.

on the meaning and the context. über die Bedeutung und den Kontext. 의 의미와 맥락에 대해 설명합니다.

Most importantly, would doesn't necessarily have a past meaning. Sometimes it does, but más importante|||||||||||| Am wichtigsten ist, dass would nicht unbedingt eine vergangene Bedeutung hat. Manchmal schon, aber 最も重要なのは、wouldが必ずしも過去の意味を持つとは限らないということだ。ある場合もあるが 가장 중요한 것은 'would'가 반드시 과거의 의미를 갖는 것은 아니라는 점입니다. 가끔은 그렇지만

it can also refer to the present or the future. es kann sich auch auf die Gegenwart oder die Zukunft beziehen. Thanks a lot for watching! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!
