How do you use the word I would in a present tense form?
"Would" is a modal auxiliary verb that is used in conditional sentences that express conditions that are contrary to fact. These types of sentences have an "if" clause (which is usually in the subjunctive mood) and a result clause (which contains would).
Examples:
If I were you, I would go to the hospital. (This is a present tense statement, despite the use of the past tense verb "were". In the subjunctive mood, "were" is used for first, second, and third person, plural and singular. The sentence is contrary to fact because it's not possible for "I" to be "you".)
If I were rich, I would travel the world. (Presently, I am not rich.)
How do you spell the verb to practice?
