*сочинение то по другой грамматике но в таком же смысле.* - риал перл)

Вопрос считаю уместным. Учителя должны уметь пользоваться учебниками, не так ли?

Но русский язык вопроса БОГАТ!

:0)

Глагол would может использоваться не только при описании повторяющихся действий, но также и при описании повторяющихся ситуаций (состояний). Если же речь идет об одной ситуации, одном длительном состоянии, would не может быть использован. Вместо would в этом случае используется оборот used to . She would usually be happy when she returned home after a long trip — Она обычно бывала счастлива, когда возвращалась домой после долгого путешествия (описывается повторяющаяся ситуация)

Ну где тут условие, чем оно обозначено? Ни if, ни инверсии.

1. Потому что в первой части предложения (She would have a smile on her face) уже есть would.

2. Касательно условных предложений (а данное предложение, безусловно, относится ко II типу условных предложений (но это не чистый II тип, а его разновидность, но тем не менее, это предположение с союзом бы) - после would употребляется Past Simple (wto show that she WAS happy).

Аскер, просто запомните данную модель и дальше действуйте по принципу распознавания.

для аскера: "would describes past events and actions"

Классика жанра, "Она могла быть на самом деле счастливой" - на самом деле не могла бы, это нарисованная девочка, которая что-то может только в нашем воображении.

segu, условное оно, потому что описывает НЕРЕАЛЬНОЕ УСЛОВИЕ, которое только могло бы быть, и не более.

Оксаночка, Вам natrix_reloaded все уже обосновала и разжевала, по-моему, осталось только в рот положить.

Самурай, не кричите, я знаю, что такое НЕРЕАЛЬНОЕ УСЛОВИЕ, и даже объяснил это не одному поколению студентов иняза :)

Use would to express a usual action (this is it), a hypothetical situation or a preference:
In the summer we would spend hours by the seashore. (This is it)
She would do it if she could.
I would like to see you.

I would draw a picture that depicts ...

"я имела обыкновение рисовать картинку, на которой было следующее и т. д."

I would draw a picture that depicted...

По аскеру, "смысл контекста в том, что "я бы нарисовала картинку на которой было бы следующее и т. д." She would have a smile on her face to show that she was happy."

Все просто. (Допридумываю контекст :). Кого-то спрашивают: Как бы ты ее нарисовала, вспоминая ТЕ времена? Чел отвечает: " She would have a smile on her face to show that she was happy." = "На моем рисунке она БЫ улыбалась, - я бы так нарисовала, чтобы показать, что она была счастлива.

Просто хотел добавить, что при данном контексте можно сказать и
that she IS happy.

Нет?

Мы с Вами друг друга не поняли)) Я имела в виду, что Вы имели в виду под фразой //Я БЫ + простое прошедшее//, что это second conditional sentence.

Example:
a) Claire is working late again; she’s so passionate about her work!
b) Jane is working late again; she’s so obsessed with her work!

In the first sentence, the word ‘passionate’ suggests that Claire’s reason for working late is that she is driven by a love for her job and a healthy desire to succeed. In the second sentence, the word ‘obsessed’ suggests that Claire’s reason for working late is that she lacks a healthy balance in her life. She is so fixated on her work that perhaps she doesn’t do anything else, or perhaps other areas of her life are negatively affected.

To teach it, I would draw two pictures (or bring in two photographs). The first would be of a person working at her desk in an office. I would show the time with a clock on the wall (showing 9:30 pm). She would have a smile on her face to show that she was happy (and passionate about her work!)
For the second sentence, I would have a picture of Jane at her desk in her office, but she would look tired (and a little stressed). The time would still be 9:30pm on the clock.
I hope these two examples would show the positive/negative aspects of the two sentences.

или вообще поставить всё в Present Simple:

She has a smile on her face showing that she is happy.

oxanochka, ну что же вы его сразу не показали?! или хотя бы когда я вас спрашивал (21.06.2011 2:22)
теперь же будете читать еще две страницы обсуждения, пока тут народ не договорится - а ведь вам нужно "точно знать, чтобы не сделать ошибки".... ыыыы

Using would as as a kind of past tense of will or going to is common in reported speech:
She said that she would buy some eggs. ("I will buy some eggs.")
The candidate said that he wouldn't increase taxes. ("I won't increase taxes.")
Why didn't you bring your umbrella? I told you it would rain! ("It's going to rain.")

We often use would not to talk about past refusals:
He wanted a divorce but his wife would not agree.
Yesterday morning, the car wouldn't start.

We sometimes use would (rather like used to) when talking about habitual past behaviour:
Every weekday my father would come home from work at 6pm and watch TV.
Every summer we'd go to the seaside.
Sometimes she'd phone me in the middle of the night.
We would always argue. We could never agree.

would: Future in past
When talking about the past we can use would to express something that has not happened at the time we are talking about:

In London she met the man that she would one day marry.
He left 5 minutes late, unaware that the delay would save his life.
would: Conditionals
We often use would to express the so-called second and third conditionals:

If he lost his job he would have no money.
IfI had won the lotteryI would have bought a car.
Using the same conditional structure, we often use would when giving advice:

I wouldn't eat that if I were you.
If I were in your place I'd refuse.
If you asked me I would say you should go.
Sometimes the condition is "understood" and there does not have to be an "if" clause:

Someone who liked John would probably love John's father. (If someone liked John they would probably love John's father.)
You'd never know it. (for example: If you met him you would never know that he was rich.)
Why don't you invite Mary? I'm sure she'd come.
Although there is always a main verb, sometimes it is understood (not stated) as in:
I'd like to stay. | I wish you would. (would stay)
Do you think he'd come? | I'm sure he would. (would come)
Who would help us? | John would. (would help us)

would: Desire or inclination
I'd love to live here.
Would you like some coffee?
What I'd really like is some tea.
would: Polite requests and questions
Would you open the door, please? (more polite than: Open the door, please.)
Would you go with me? (more polite than: Will you go with me?)
Would you know the answer? (more polite than: Do you know the answer?)
What would the capital of Nigeria be? (more polite than: What is the capital of Nigeria?)
would: Opinion or hope
I would imagine that they'll buy a new one.
I suppose some people would call it torture.
I would have to agree.
I would expect him to come.
Since you ask me I'd say the blue one is best.
would: Wish
I wish you would stay. (I really want you to stay. I hope you will stay.)
They don't like me. I'm sure they wish I'd resign.
Note that all of these uses of would express some kind of distance or remoteness:

remoteness in time (past time)
remoteness of possibility or probability
remoteness between speakers (formality, politeness)

would: Presumption or expectation
That would be Jo calling. I'll answer it.
We saw a police helicopter overhead yesterday morning. | Really? They would have been looking for those bank robbers.
would: Uncertainty
He would seem to be getting better. (less certain than: He seems to be getting better.)
It would appear that I was wrong. (less certain than: It appears that I was wrong.)
would: Derogatory
They would say that, wouldn't they?
John said he didn't steal the money. | Well, he would, wouldn't he?
would that: Regret (poetic/rare) - with clause
This rare, poetic or literary use of would does not have the normal structure:

Would that it were true! (If only it were true! We wish that it were true!)
Would that his mother had lived to see him become president.
