(a) would-go
(b) would-try
(c) would-see
(d) would-be

Would-be house buyers are peoply who really want to buy a house but are frustrated because they can't realize their plan. In our case this is due to a lack of reliable information.

Hi,
It would be helpful if you could explain the expressions: would-see, would-go, would-try. Then, is this kind of structure frequent in English? Can you make up some?
Many thanks
