Had better i would rather w skrócie
Had better: lepiej, żebyś…
Had better to mocna rada na teraz albo na zaraz, często z ukrytym „bo inaczej”. Po nim stoi czasownik bez to. Przeczenie to had better not. W mowie prawie zawsze słyszysz skrót 'd better.
- You’d better hurry. (Lepiej się pospiesz.)
- We’d better not be late. (Lepiej, żebyśmy się nie spóźnili.)
- I’d better call my mom. (Lepiej zadzwonię do mamy.)
Would rather: wolę
Would rather mówi, co wolisz. Po nim też stoi czasownik bez to. Kiedy porównujesz, dodajesz than. Przeczenie to would rather not.
- I’d rather stay home tonight. (Wolę dziś zostać w domu.)
- I’d rather walk than take the bus. (Wolę iść pieszo, niż jechać autobusem.)
- I’d rather not talk about it. (Wolę o tym nie rozmawiać.)
Would prefer to: wolałbym, trochę grzeczniej
Would prefer znaczy to samo, ale brzmi bardziej uprzejmie. Tu już potrzebujesz to. Przeczenie to would prefer not to.
- I’d prefer to sit by the window. (Wolałbym usiąść przy oknie.)
- She’d prefer not to work on Sundays. (Wolałaby nie pracować w niedziele.)
I’d rather you did: wolę, żebyś Ty…
Kiedy mówisz, co wolisz, żeby zrobił ktoś inny, po would rather stawiasz tę osobę i formę przeszłą. Zdanie dotyczy teraz albo przyszłości, ale czasownik cofa się o krok, jak po I wish.
- I’d rather you didn’t smoke here. (Wolałbym, żebyś tu nie palił.)
- I’d rather you called first. (Wolałbym, żebyś najpierw zadzwonił.)
