WOULD RATHER
Would rather (do) = would prefer (to do).
We use would rather («d rather) + V0 to express preference: He’d rather stay at home today.
The negative form is: I’d rather not + V0
He’d rather not go out tonight.
We say ’would rather do something than do something else’:
He’d rather stay at home than go out.
When the subject of would rather is different from the subject of the following verb, we use another structure: I’d rather somebody + Past Simple
In this structure we use the past, but the meaning is present not past.
He’d rather Luna stayed with him at home and cooked something tasty.
