Modal verbs (such as would, could, and should) are used to create conditional sentences. Conditional sentences need an if clause and a result clause. They usually, but not always, express something imagined or contrary to fact. Conditionals are somewhat confusing because they use past tense verbs to express a present tense idea.
If I were rich, I would travel the world. (Present tense--something I desire right now.)
If I had been rich, I would have travelled the world.(Past tense--something I had desired in the past.)
