would

Verb A1 – Beginner

Used to talk about something that might happen under certain conditions, or to describe a repeated past habit.

"If I had more time, I would learn to play the piano."

"Would" is also used to make polite requests, as in "Would you pass the salt?", instead of the more direct "will."
