wood, would

Wood or wood means the stuff that furniture and other items are made of, or the boards we get from cutting down trees--
Most furniture is made of wood.
We can used the wood in the fireplace.
Real wood furniture is more expensive than particle board.

Would or would ( rhymes with wood ) is the conditional  form of "will", as in might or might not do something, depending on circumstance--
I would go to the store, but it's raining.
Would you like some coffee?
Would you move over, please?

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Would you prefer wood or metal furniture?"

Note--"wooden" describes something made of wood--
Look at the old wooden bucket.
"Wouldn't" is a contraction ( short, informal form ) of "would not"--
I wouldn't go bungee jumping on a bet.
