    Hello,could you help me here please?
    His parents were delighted when they WOULD HEAR HEARD the news
    Why in this sentence do I use HEARD and not WOULD HEAR? Isn't it second conditional? Many thanks!!!!

    Hello,
    No it is the past simple;there's no conditional here.There is no 'if clause'.
    We say:
    His parents were delighted when they HEARD the news.
    Best wishes.
