How would I say "I would"?

How would I say "I would"?

If I were to emphasize the fact that I would do something, like "I would eat ___. I would!" how would I translate that into spanish? And for that matter all tenses where in English it's 2 words and for spanish it's one(like I will do ___, I did do___, etc)

***EDIT I realize how this question might be misunderstood. However I think my last sentence shows my understanding on the conditional tense and other tenses, since I wouldn't know that in Spanish it is only 1 word if I didn't know what it was. A better phrasing for my ACTUAL QUESTION would be: How would I convey the meaning "I would" as in confirming that I indeed would do something? Like in my very first example how would I say the second I would

That doesn't make sense. Should I not be able to question authority? - lepetitlapin, Oct 13, 2015
If you wish to question authority , first read through your question and you may realise that you were asking for years of Spanish lessons condensed into this page. Not going to happen mate. - ray76, Oct 13, 2015

Sorry if the question I asked doesn't fit your rules, which I didn't know existed before you replied to this post so maybe you should make them more clear. Second I didn't ask for you to fill in the blanks, they're there to make the example more clear. - lepetitlapin, Oct 12, 2015
