When 'would' is used in the beginning of a sentence...

When 'would' is used in the beginning of a sentence, does that set the future verbs in that may be in that same sentence with 'would' ? Heres an example:

"As class would end, I would say to myself...."
Or
"As class would end, I say to myself..."

Since 'would' is in the beginning, im guessing that you would not have to say 'would' with the other verbs that may be in the sentence.

Sort of, but the 'would' of past habit goes in the main clause: As class ended , I would say to myself...
