Would has many different uses in English.
The first and most basic use of would is with polite requests; "I would like a glass of orange juice, please" for example. Or "Would you please move your car." Or "Would you like to go to the movies with me?"
Would is also used as a clause; "I would have finished my homework but my sister was sick and I took her to the hospital" or "I would like to take a vacation this year but I don't have enough money" or "Do you think those shoes would look good with these pants?"
These are just some basic examples. There are more complicated ways to use "would" but try to think of a few examples like the ones I gave you and you will start to understand what it means. Good luck!!

Would indicates willingness or desire in a polite manner.
So: would you help me? Would you like tea?
But also as a past tense of will:
Do you think he would be okay with that?
She would have liked that.
