Rather a large question, Sajid, but here are some of the uses:

Would

Polite request: Would you close the window, please?
Conditional II and III: If I saw you, I would greet you. If I had seen you, I would have greeted you.
Past habit: When I was young, I would play outside all day.

Could

Polite request: Could you close the window, please?
Polite offer: Could I get you something to drink?
Conditional II and III: If you asked, I could get you a drink. If you had asked, I could have gotten you a drink.
Past ability: When I was young, I could party all night.

Other members will likely come up with other uses of these popular modals.

thanks for your reply.Would you tell me the meaning of 'feud'?I didn't find anywhere.

You will this in any dictionary. Also, you can simply google the word. This is what you will get: enmity, vendetta, antagonism, continuing conflict (especially between families); row, argument

TOEIC short conversations: Woman asks real estate agent how many of his new apartments he has found tenants for.

I would if I could, but I can't, so I shan't.
