Dear teachers,
Would you answer my questions?
1) What is the possible meaning of "would" and "'d" in this sentence ? I think both "would" and "'d" here express (or "expresses" ?) future in the past. Is this thought right ? or is there anything more better ?
------------------------------------
His hole would have to be as deep as his shovel, and he'd able to lay the shovel flat across the bottom in any direction.
------------------------------------
2) Is the sentence coming after "warned that" in the following sentence the second conditional?
She warned that if he failed to do this, he would be doomed for all of eternity.
==excerpt containing the above sentence==
"I want you to carry me up the mountain. I want to drink from the stream, and want you to sing the song to me."
He promised he would.
She warned that if he failed to do this, he would be doomed for all of eternity.
=========================================
Thank you for your every help.
