會考英語含助動詞句型精講

would rather V1 than V2

結構?主詞+would rather+原形動詞1than+原形動詞2

說明?此句型意爲寧願也不願。would rather 和 than 之後都要用原形動詞。若 than 之後的動詞和 would rather 之後的動詞相同，則 than 之後的動詞可省略。

... had better + V ...

結構?主詞+had better+原形動詞

說明?此句型意爲最好還是爲好。用 had better 來執行和一個助動詞一樣的功能。had better have+過去分詞表最好已經之意;had best ...則是以爲最佳，比 had better 的意思還要強調。
