Willingness in the past!

We use would to talk about willingness in the past and it's usually negative form. Could you please give me some examples that Is in positive form and that shows willingness in the past? Thank you in advance.

Anonymous examples that Is are in positive form and that shows show willingness in the past I don't think we use 'would' in positive form for willingness in the past anymore. It sounds like something from hundreds of years ago. If I were you, I'd forget about this.
