Would
Hi friends,
Please,let me know grammatically the use of would in the following sentences.
If you came in early,on certain days,the clouds would sit below the top of the building.
And I would describe it as a jack in the beanstalk moment.It would simply be perfectly blue sky,white puffy, pillowy clouds below,and tip of the Empire State building sticking up like jack in the beanstalk. Extraordinary.
And in windy days the building would sway,I remember the doors would actually swing like a ship.
You would go to the bathroom and you would see the water splashing around the toilet.
every day planes would fly by,there was two guys always in the office,that always would say,"Whoa!that was close."
They flew past.And they flew closely enough that you would take notice.
You could only tell that it was raining cause you would be in the clouds.
Thank you
