Would
Hi everyone,
Why are " would " , " wouldn't " used in the following paragraph ?
And in the paragraph , " they ' d " came two times but I need to understand. Is this the short form of " they would or had " ? If these are the short forms of " they would " , please explain to me but why? Here is statement ;
By becoming a British colony --- you actually become property --- both the county and people. And if you look at the history --- the natives were not recognized as human beings. so all of you are --- total property of Empire. In the particular district ,I come from --- refused to work on those plantation. And if they'd come to work, they'd come on their own time --- sometimes , they wouldn't come. So , that's why they introduced the labor laws through the Kipenda system. Kipenda system is a system of registration --- where every male the moment you turn 16 ---- you have to a labor record --- and that's the one that is used for ensuring that all male laborers would work--- and that's why the colonial labor laws ---- really were slaves laws.
Kind Regards

The passage has grammar problems, but the 'would's refer to past habit except for the last one, which seems to be the 'would' of volition. '-D' means 'would' here.
