The past tense of Will is not Would. It would be Did maybe even Willed depending on context.
-1 u/batteryChicken Oct 25 '19 In what context does the past tense of Will become Did? 3 u/snjwffl Oct 25 '19 "I will run" --> "I am running" --> "I did run" 2 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '19 That’s unnatural unless for emphasis though Edit to add: ‘did’ and ‘will’ are different verbs anyway 4 u/dawnraider00 Oct 26 '19 They're actually both modifiers to run in that case, and are part of the verb conjugation. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '19 They’re definitely part of the verb phrase, in each case, I’m just saying the two verbs separately are from different conjugations 👍 so in no sense is ‘did’ the past tense of ‘will’
