What type of verb is would?

"Would" is a modal auxiliary verb.

Here's why:

* Auxiliary Verb: It helps form verb phrases, often paired with another verb to express a specific meaning.

* Modal: It expresses modality, which is the speaker's attitude or opinion about the action or state being described.

Examples:

* I would go (Expresses willingness or possibility)

* She would have studied (Expresses a conditional or hypothetical situation)

* We would like to eat (Expresses a polite request or preference)
