Yes, I do mean to say that. using 'would' in that way is non-standard, conversational, informal US English.

Quote:And It should be "When it rained" as per your opinion, right?.
Yes, it should be, and that is not just my 'opinion'.
Quote:Speaker meant that whenever it rained
There you go. Your own words.
Quote:So, if police had to come over and over then is the following correct:: "Police would come and chase us out " because poice would come often ?
Yes. If (whenever, or each time) it rained, we would hide, and the police would chase us out
Quote:would it be correct to say that "If it would rain" as it rained on multiple occasions?
It is not correct, as I have already explained.
Quote:Or you would be sure that your version , which is, "If it rained, we would find another shelter until cops came and chased us out" is correct even after the reoccurrences??
1. I am sure.
2. Even after the recurrences (not 'reoccurences')
3. Only use one question mark.
