"Would" is kind of a complicated word. It is the past tense of will, but it also has other definitions. This may help: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/would English no tiene los tiempas condicional, imperfecto, o subjunctivo, y "would" es una palabra que indica un diferente tiempo. I think...

Would is normally used in the conditional tense. Will is the future tense.
