hello everybody i wish you all MERRY XMAS.

normally we use the "will" in the future action. that is
"i will go to temple next week".

now could anyone tell me -"i would go to temple". what is the exact meaning for this sentence.

thanks

Will= Strong possibility.
Would= Lesser than will in terms of possibility/strongness.

Another usage:
Eg: "I told him that I would go to the park" (referring to the future from the past)
