Question

I ________like you to answer my question properly.
A. might
B. may
C. shall
D. would

Answer 1

Hint: Would is the past tense form of will. Because it is past tense, it is used to talk about the past. Also, would is commonly used to refer to a future event that may occur under specific conditions.

Complete answer:
Option A: This option is incorrect because ‘might’ is the past tense of ‘may’. “ Might” is used mostly to express possibility or to make suggestions or requests. The word “Might” is most commonly used in statements about things that could have happened but didn’t (counterfactuals ).
Option B: This option is incorrect as “May” is a modal verb and is most commonly used to give or request permission, although this usage is becoming less common. Example: Veronica may be at home, or perhaps at work.
Option C: This option is incorrect as “Shall” is used with the first person pronouns say for example : ( I and we ) to form the future tense or to express the strong possibility. For very formal statements, especially to describe obligations, we use ‘shall’.
Option D: This option is the correct answer because ‘would’ is the past tense of will which is used to express immediate intentions and decisions, and to express someone’s willingness to do something or to make an offer or say requests and invitations. In this case, the speaker states that he is expecting a proper answer.

Note:
Would can be used to make a polite request say for example “ Would you like any tea?” or it can be also used in hypothetical situations example: “ I would love to buy a mansion one day.” The word “would” is used to indicate past repetition and a possibility.
