What do you mean by "so-called" past tense?I wrote in an earlier post:
The so-called 'past' tense is used to distance situations not only in time (present to past) but also in reality (real to less real/unreal).
".
The pages you linked us two both say that 'would' is used for past times and for hypothetical/imagined situations.
