Doubt about using didn't want to/wouldn't and don't want to/won't. What the differences between them? She didn't want to help me///She wouldn't help me. He doesn't want to eat that///He won't eat that. I think the difference might be that in the first case (didn't want to), we don't know if she finally helped or not, whereas would not implyes that she didn't want to and she definetely didn't. am I right? is the same with the present tense doesn't want to VS won't? wouldn't and won't are used to make clear that someone did/do not want to do something and they didn't/won't do it? I would appreciate any help!thank you :)

What the differences between them? 1. She didn't want to help me///She wouldn't help me. 2. He doesn't want to eat that///He won't eat that 1. These two sentences are nearly logically identical. 2. The first sentence can be used in a specific situation (not permanent) The second sentence could mean that he never ate it before now.

You are correct in both cases.
