b) WOULD/ WOULDN'T is sometimes the past of WILL/ WON'T.
Present- Tom: I'll lend you some money, Ann,
Past- Tom said that he would lend Ann some money. Present. Ann: I
promise I won't be late.

Особое внимание строчкам ниже. Я была уверена, что уж этот момент не
будут включать в тесты. Увы! В одном из тестов я встретила именно это.
И в текстах было.
c) You can also use WOULD when you look back on the past and
remember things that often happened:
