Is the sentence below written in the future or in the past? According to a book I'm following, the sentence is in the past. If so why? coz for me the "would conditional" means "future tense".
"My grandparents would sell the grapes that they would grow"

That sentence is written in the past tense. You are talking about when they USED to grow grapes.
Future tense would be, "My grandparents will sell the grapes that they grow."
