İkisi de kısaltılınca 'd olur (you'd better, I'd rather); bu yüzden karışır. Anlamları ve kalıpları ayrıdır.
Had better: "-se iyi olur"
had better + V1 uyarı ve tavsiye bildirir; genellikle belirli, o anki bir durum için kullanılır.
- You had better leave now, or you will miss the train.
- Olumsuzu: You had better not be late again.
Would rather: "-meyi tercih ederim"
would rather + V1 (+ than + V1) tercih bildirir.
- I would rather stay at home than go out tonight.
- Olumsuzu: I would rather not talk about it.
İkisinde de "to" yok
- Yanlış: You had better to stay. · I would rather to walk.
- Doğru: You had better stay. · I would rather walk.
'd hangisi?
'd hem had hem would olabilir. Arkasından better geliyorsa had, rather geliyorsa would: You'd better hurry. · I'd rather wait.
