Verbos Modales: WOULD

Ya hemos visto en otra oportunidad que utilizamos WOULD (pasado deWILL) como auxiliar para construr el Condicional Simple que sirve para describir situaciones que ocurren en el futuro pero cuyo punto de partida se encuentra en un tiempo pasado, es decir que indica una accin que en el pasado se posicionaba en el futuro y a la cual hacemos referencia en elpresente, por ejemplo: I knew that she would travel to London. Yo saba que ella viajara a Londres. Tambin se utiliza para indicar situaciones que no se pueden realizar ya que dependen de una condicin que puede estar expresada o no: We would buy a new car. Nosotros compraramos un nuevo automvil. (Para que logremos comprar el coche se debe cumplir una condicin que en este caso no est expresada) Ahora veremos como WOULD cumple su funcin de verbo modalacompaado del infinitivo del verbo gustar LIKE para expresar frases de cortesa ya sean invitaciones u ofrecimientos:

Tambin podemos expresar deseos o peticiones de la siguiente manera:
