We talked for 3 hours and a half. The Marshes showed us a picture of Tracy Bill. We learned for the first time how he had died — and something of how he had lived. He was a generous, goodhearted young man who loved the outdoors and was never happier than when he was working under the hood of his car. Evenings, Tracy and his friends would set up floodlights in the garage, and Bill and Cory would go to sleep listening to the boys' laughter as they repaired cars. Carved on Tracy's gravestone is a car rolling down a mountain road.
When it was time to leave, we felt awkward. Enough had been disclosed about our lives to stay in touch. Now David and I know where to send our prayers. For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I'll never forget seeing the tall David bending over Cory, her arms stretched around his waist as a mother would hug a son.
1、这两段短文里的would分别是什么用法?
2、seeing David and knowing是否是动名词做主语,he was well做knowing的并与从句?
1. 这两个would的用法都是表示过去反复的或习惯性的动作。请看the free dictionary的解释。
8. Used to express repeated or habitual action in the past: Every morning we would walk in the garden.
2.动名词结构做主语。he was well 是knowing的宾语从句。seeing...和 knowing... 并列。

【1】would 总是/老是(英文解释:used for talking about things that often happened in the past)
When my parents were away, my grandmother would take care of me.
我父母外出的时候,总是祖母照看我。
He would always be the first to offer to help.他总是第一个主动提出帮忙。
备注:would do sth 表示过去经常做某事的情况。
【2】 seeing David and knowing he was well【主语】// seemed【系动词】// to ease their suffering【表语】
参考译文:见到大卫并且知道他身体很好似乎减轻了他们的痛苦。
备注(1):“seeing David=动名词短语(1)” 和“knowing that he was well =动名词短语(2)”由并列连词and连接作句子主语。
备注(2):that he was well 为动名词“knowing”的that宾语从句。
