1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:09,450
In this grammar refresh, we're going to use the phrase would rather talk about likes or dislikes or.

2
00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:12,240
Just doing what someone should do.

3
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:14,190
There's many ways we can use it.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:22,220
Now we're going to go over two different situations, a situation where you're talking about something

5
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:29,930
that you yourself would or wouldn't rather do, and then we're going to talk about when you want to

6
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:33,340
tell someone else what you would rather they do.

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,290
And so the first way is when you're talking about yourself.

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,530
And for this, it's pretty simple.

9
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:40,640
You're just going to say.

10
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:51,640
Would rather was the best form of a verb that you are suggesting the person do that you want to do or

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,720
that they want to do?

12
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,840
Well, let's look at our examples and make this clear.

13
00:00:57,430 --> 00:01:01,240
The first example is I'd rather stay at home tonight.

14
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:05,050
I don't feel like going out in this example.

15
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:06,370
You can see it.

16
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:07,990
I'd rather stay.

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,750
So here we have this word.

18
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,100
I'd write I apostrophe D.

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,020
That's a contraction of I would.

20
00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:25,840
And so you can I would rather stay home and I would rather stay home now or you can say I'd rather stay

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,170
home to.

22
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:35,690
I'd much more quicker or much quicker, I should say, and, you know, easier to get your point across.

23
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:37,810
I'd rather stay at home tonight.

24
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:46,190
And again, this is something that you personally would like to do, the next example sentence is Jayne

25
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:51,130
would rather have one hundred job interviews and go Christmas shopping.

26
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:57,550
And so Jane would rather have one hundred job interviews than go Christmas shopping.

27
00:01:57,740 --> 00:02:02,710
And so now we're talking about Jane, we're talking about what she wants to do.

28
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,120
And so this still says the same thing about talking about oneself.

29
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:11,600
We're just telling what Jane wants to do.

30
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:19,410
And again, it would rather us the base form of the verb and would rather have.

31
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:29,280
And then we have another further down, so I would rather have one hundred job interviews than go Christmas

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,700
shopping.

33
00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:32,540
Now, if we want to.

34
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:38,100
Express our own opinion about what someone else should do.

35
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:43,080
We're going to use this would rather phrase Los.

36
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:51,610
The clause that we want the person to do in the past tense and so the verb tense is going to be in the

37
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:55,680
past tense or the past simpleton's, be exact.

38
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:57,490
But let's look at our examples.

39
00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:06,240
The first one is, I'd rather you helped me out with cooking, and so I'd rather or I would rather.

40
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:10,100
And then we're talking to you and whoever you is.

41
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:12,120
And then we have.

42
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:23,670
Or helped me out with cooking, and so I'd rather you helped me out with cooking and you can see helped

43
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:25,590
is in the simple past tense.

44
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,710
The next example.

45
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:36,440
They'd rather me didn't spend a fortune on gifts and they'd rather me didn't spend a fortune on gifts.

46
00:03:40,690 --> 00:03:48,690
Would rather or they'd rather and then me and so they'd rather me didn't spend a fortune on gifts.
