"I would go now."

"I would go now."

People say "would" means "want" here, and then is there a meaning difference between 'would' and 'would like to'? Or by any chance, "would" functions the same as the "would" in 'That would be Tom'? Thank you so much as always and have a good and safe day.

Thank you and the second question is about capital letter for 'for example', so the question is different from the first, so please would you make it separated or answer the question as well

1) Is there a meaning difference between 'would' and 'would like to'? You have asked a complete question here. It should end with a question mark.
For example, I would go and I would like to go. The capital letter begins a new sentence, but this is not a sentence. It is a fragment.

Thank you so much and I am a little bit confused now that it is considered a fragment and then, when can I use the prepositional phrase with a capital letter, For example, beginning a new sentence? And if you do not mind, would you explain what the difference is between the definition of fragment and that of sentence? Thank you so much as usual and have a good and safe day.
