Would

Hello everybody,

I am writing a couple of passages using would and going to identify it.Please, let me know if I have made mistakes and you can fix them.

1- Why would (do) the American academy of pediatrics recommend immediate skin-to-skin (mother and baby contact) but not make sure it is enforced in all hospitals?

Identification: Would for polite question

2- We were and are perhaps the only society in the world for which those thoughts would be acceptable or even considered.

Identification: Habitual past or To express doubt

3- Historically, Sweeden if you go back to 60's from countries outside Sweeden it was seen as a very advanced country where you would see more nudity.

Identification: Habitual past action

4- There was some pressure for women to go back to work earlier at one stage, a suggestion it would be a good idea for women not to take so much time off work, and the suggestion was they could breastfeed using either express milk or formula.

Identification: Either past tense of will 
                                  Or
                       2nd conditional

5- The support that mothers and fathers enjoy here in Seeden incredible. Imagine the differences these pro-family polices would make in America.

Identification: Would for imaging things

6- In the hospital, I was offered formula. I was offered the luxury of being able to give my baby over to the nurses and have her taken to the nursery so that I could sleep and they would give her formula.

Identification: Future in the past

7- I would love to be able to take to the formula companies and tell them stop doing what you are doing.

Identification: To say that you want something or want to do something.

8- And it is so often very subtle that when we look at how a Mom is holding the baby the baby's tummy up, and I was a nurse ,the Moms would often be very shocked.When I would turn the baby in towards their tummy because you can not breastfeed a baby with it's tummy up that is formula feeding position.

Identification: Habitual past action

9- One of the reasons we have nurseries separate from the mothers in the hospitals ,formula companies would give free architectural services and they designed it so that it would be more difficult to support breastfeeding.

Identification: I do not about this.

10- Do you mind sending me an email with your , request so I can relay it to the appropriate person? Who would that appropriate person be?

Identification: Will is substituted with would

11- My main intention would be to support someone from B to their C.So, breastfeeding is their wheelhouse and they are up for conversation. I would say go for it, you can do it.

Identification: 1st would is used to imagine or I would say 2nd conditional and 2nd would for opinion or hope

12- I think it would be so much easier to start from the beginning and work up.

Identification: 2nd conditional or Imagining things.

Kind Regards
