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'dNegative 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 notSource: <a href="http://www.atozofenglish.com/2009/07/unit-41-would-rather.html" target="_blank">http://www.atozofenglish.com/2009/07/unit-41-would-rather.html</a></blockquote>
