She'd always find some way to duck me.

Above the sentence, which is one of scripts in the movie Flip, I don't know what's the exact word of 'd. Is it an abbreviation of would? Then I wonder why they put auxiliary verb, 'd in the sentence... I'd like to know the meaning or usuage of the verb... Could you help me??

You’re welcome! There are actually a lot of ways “would” can be used. Here are some:

1 — talking about a habitual action in the past (like your sentence)
• When my friends and I were in high school, we would ride our bikes together every weekend.

2 — conditional
• She would have won the race if she hadn't tripped.
• If I could leave work early, I would.
• I could be any animal, I would be a lion.

3 — “would like” is a polite way to say “want”
• I would like some lemonade, please.
• We would like to help.
• I’d like to go to France some day.

4 — past tense of will, used to talk about the future in the past
• He said that he would be leaving soon.
(= in the past, he said, “I will be leaving soon.”)

5 — replaces “will” to make a question more polite
• Would you please help us?

6 — to be willing to do something
• I would do anything to protect my family.
• He wouldn't help us. (= he was not willing to help us)

7 — used to express a wish
• I wish my teacher would curve grades.
• I wish my dog wouldn’t bark so much.
