This tense is used when the action is either impossible (unreal) or when we do not think that the action will happen. He would sign it. (But he can't. It is not possible.) I would travel by plane. (If I wanted to go on holiday. But I do not want to go.) In the first person singular and plural should instead of would is also possible. But it is not very common in modern English. I should/would be really glad. (If you could help me). We should/would send the fax. (But we do not know how to do it). Should, however, can also express a recommendation or advice. In this respect, it is similar to ought to. I should study tonight. I ought to study tonight. (Or I will fail the exam tomorrow.) He should drive carefully. He ought to drive carefully. (Or he will crash one day.) You should speak loudly. You ought to speak loudly. (I can't hear you.) Could and might are conditional forms of can and may. They are used to speculate about the present or future. Could indicates theoretical possibility, might indicates possibility + uncertainty. She could come with us tomorrow. (It is possible. She will be free.) She might come with us tomorrow. (We hope that it is possible, but we are not sure.) Could is also the past form of can and expresses possibility, ability or permission in the past. Possibility: She could travel in our car. (It was possible because we had a free seat for her.) Ability: She could play again in the last match. (She was able to play because she was not ill anymore.) Permission: She could come with us last weekend. (Her father allowed her to go.) Perfect conditional tense Form Statement: I would have practised Negative: He would not have given Question: Would you have practised? Neg. question: Would she not have written? Short forms: I'd have practised, He wouldn't have given, Wouldn't we have written?
