Simple Past Future Tense is a form of verb in English to talk
about the future from the perspective of the past. This tense can
be used to express an event or action that will be carried out
(voluntary or planned), make estimates or predictions, and make
promises in the future while in the past.

In English, Simple Past Future Tense is also used to explain


events that occur or are carried out repeatedly or have become
a habit in the past. The use of the word “would” usually indicates
that the speaker wants something to happen in the future, which
may or may not come true.
Simple past future tense is a tense used to express events that will happen or
be done in the past (past future). So whatever we are going to do or plan at
that time can be expressed with this tense. The same goes for our
circumstances or conditions, such as:

i would come if I knew.


My father had a strong feeling that the weather would be warm yesteday.
I thought she would go along with you.

there is a verb, while the second is called nominal and is used when there is no verb.
