"Could", "would", and "should" are all auxiliary verbs, used to form special tenses in combination with other verbs. In modern English, this is the only idiomatic use of "could", "should" or "would", although in earlier centuries "would" was used as a synonym for "wish" or "want". Note that "could" is a past tense for which the present tense is "can", but the other two of these auxiliary verbs do not change for tense.

How do you say 'would be' in french?

It depends on what verb you would be doing, and who would be doing it. Use this verb conjugator: http://french.about.com/library/verb/bl_chanter.htm. If you're saying 'would be [adjective] type etre into the form and look for the box that says 'Conditionnel'. Then find the word beside what you're putting in front of it. If you're saying 'would be [verb]' type the verb you were planning on putting 'would be' in front of into the form and do the same. Or you could invest your time in actually learning about how to conjugate verbs.
