Good Evening, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence especially this "I WOULD" there.
I know that WOULD is a modal verb, a verb used with another verb to express an idea such as possibility that is not expressed by the main verb.
But in this situation i see the modal verb that isn't used with a main verb and honestly im a little lost with that detail.
Im a spanish and french speaker.
this is the context: BOOK: Stolen by Lucy Christopher
“Don’t worry, I’ll do it. You sit down.” You
gestured to where you’d been sitting, at a
table between the fake palm trees, over by
the window.
I hesitated. But you’d anticipated I would.
You touched me gently on the shoulder, your
hand warm on my skin. “Hey, it’s OK, I won’t
bite,” you said softly.
