How to use 'would rather' in sentence & what does it mean?

In this lesson of learning English as a second language, we shall learn:

• How to use Would Rather.
• Structure of Would Rather.
• Contraction of Would Rather.

We use would rather to show our preference. It means that if you want to express that you like would like to do something than another, you will use would rather.

For Example:

I would rather play cricket than clean my room.

Here you are showing the preference of playing cricket over cleaning your room. In other words you would prefer to play cricket than clean your room.

You must remember that you must have another thing in your sentence to show preference over it.

For Example:

She would rather go shopping than study grammar.

In this example you are showing your preference (shopping) over (study grammar).

Sometimes, it is not necessary to complete the preference because it is clear from the context or the conversation going on.

For Example:

A: Would you like to go shopping with me?

B: I would rather stay home and study.

In this example B did not complete the preference ,like he didn't say I would rather stay home and study (than go shopping with you)

If the verb is same, you don't have to repeat it.

For example:

He would rather play hockey than (play) cricket.

She would rather eat a burger than (eat) a sandwich.

Structure of Would Rather

Affirmative : Subject + would rather + VI* + Object + than + VI + Object.
He would rather clean his room than go shopping
I would rather take his gift than yours

Negative: Subject + would rather + not + VI* + Object + than + VI + Object.
He would rather not clean his room than go shopping
I would rather not take his gift than yours

Interrogative: Would + subject + rather + VI* + Object + than + VI + Object?
Would he rather clean his room than go shopping?
Would you rather take his gift than mine?

Contraction of Would Rather

He would = He'd
She would = She'd
We would = We'd
They would = They'd
It would = It'd
You would = You'd
I would = I'd

Negative Form:

He would rather not = He'd rather not
She would rather not = She'd rather not
They would rather not = They'd rather not
You would rather not = You'd rather not
It would rather not = It'd rather not
We would rather not = We'd rather not

1.Get over your shyness and hesitation. English is a foreign language, it doesn’t really matter if we make mistakes during the learning stage.

2. Listen to the English news and other English programmes even if you feel that you don’t understand much. This is a very important listening activity to improve your pronunciation.

3.Read an extract from a magazine or a newspaper, underline the difficult words, find the meanings, write those down in a book then read the extract once again. This will help you to increase your vocabulary.

4.Make dictionary your best friend whenever in doubt regarding a meaning or pronunciation refer to your dictionary.

5.Read aloud a short story, then change the tense and read it aloud once again.

6.Participate in group discussions with your friends on the subjects of your choice.

Why would you wanna start remembering english words? Isn't that kinda stupid? You might not even use those words in your life.
Just talk with someone. Don't think in sinhala and directly translate that in to english. Think in english and speak it out.
