  • Subject + would rather + verb

أخطاء شائعة

Many speakers drop the 'had', but it is grammatically required for the full structure.

Wrong: You better go now.
صحيح: You had better go now.

After 'be used to', you must use a gerund (-ing) or a noun, not the base verb.

Wrong: I am used to work late.
صحيح: I am used to working late.

'Would rather' is followed by a bare infinitive, so do not include 'to'.

Wrong: I would rather to stay home.
صحيح: I would rather stay home.
