what is the actual meaning of "would" and "could"?

hii,

I am learning English for around 5 years and I still can't comprehend the meaning of "would" and "count" in some context. are they just past form of "will" and "can"?

"would you like coffee" means a person is asking if you liked coffee in past? "I would do it" means I did it in past?

I really don't understand since my language doesn't have anything like those words.

Edit: Thank you for answering my naive question :)

  • Do you ever get that thing where the more you look at a word the more it looks wrong? I'm getting that with "would" and "could" after reading this thread.
