In e.g .would you mind telling me the time?why don't we use will instead of would (present tense )

[@EntertainFacts1]

"As a colleague, what would you suggest to him" please explain this meaning, is this imaginary situation. Or past

[@DewHope]

@@EntertainFacts1 Imaginary, like in, what would you do if you won the lottery? In this case, what would you suggest if you were asked to give a suggestion?

Good lesson! I think it is difficult to explain how to use would in English. I've watched several videos about this word and this one is the best.

[@martinerossi7698]

Very clear explanations. Now, I have to use "would" in my conversations for a better integration. Thank you

[@Krishna-nu8nv]

Thanks for talking about all the uses of "would"..I was always confused about the possibilities of "would".. :)

[@athamas1294]

We can also use would instead of will to turn a direct speech into an indirect one: Direct speech: John said, ‘I will wait until you return.’ Indirect speech: John said that he would wait until I return. Direct speech: The boy said, ‘I will not eat this cake.’ Indirect speech: The boy said that he would not eat that cake.

Hi Mike, thank you so much for making me better understanding of using would in different ways.. :-)

[@leninyonatancaballeros.6248]

i would like to understand more of your sentens

[@vijayakumar2593]

Other than the uses of " would " as you taught us, I heard that " would " is also used as a soft form of " will " . So, what does it mean when " would "is used as a soft form? e.g. this video would serve the purpose or this book would meet the requirements of the students. Please clarify.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Vijaya, that means it's another type of phrase to use for making requests: 'Will you close the door, please?' and 'Would you close the door, please?' have the same meaning, and 'would' is the soft form here.

[@vijayakumar2593]

@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 can we use " would " in the same meaning as " will " ? For example, he would place all the records before me today. Is the meaning of this sentence same as " he will place all. ....?
