Nota

Observa el siguiente ejemplo usando would y su forma corta ‘d en afirmativo y negativo:

+ She would walk her dogs. She’d walk her dogs.

I would = I’d You would = you’d He would = he’d

It would = it’d We would = we’d They would = they’d

- She would not walk her dogs. She wouldn’t walk her dogs.

Would not = wouldn’t

Nota: Después del would no se usa el “to”.

No se dice: He would to like coffee.
Se dice: He would like coffee.

Sé cuidadoso ya que la forma would y had se pueden escribir igual: 'd

He'd finished = He had finished
He'd like coffee = He would like coffee

Pero es fácil distinguir si se usa el would o el had ya que después del had siempre va seguido un verbo en
tiempo “past participle”. Y con el would siempre se escribe después un verbo en su forma base, o sea sin
conjugarse.
