Hi. Please answer two questions:<br/><br/>1. What does the modal "would" do in this sentence? <br/><br/>2.Would you say if the adverb "especially" were not in the sentence, the comma wouldn't need to be there?<br/><br/><i>It loved to stay inside the house, especially when he <u>would</u> give it dog biscuits regularly after a meal. </i>
