¿Qué cómo se usa qué? Rather? Rader? 👀
Hello student! Welcome back! Antes de entrar en materia, recuerda, la pronunciación es:
💂♀️ Rather /rɑːðə/ Repeat! Raaatha, raaatha, raaatha…
Good, now you’re ready. Let’s begin!
¿QUÉ SIGNIFICA RATHER?
I’d rather = prefiero, preferiría.
Preferiría llamarte mañana 👉🏻 I’d rather call you tomorrow.
¡OJO! NO DIGAS 👉🏻 I rather.
LO CORRECTO ES 👉🏻 I would rather, I’d rather.
¿CÓMO SE USA RATHER?
💂♀️ Para hablar de lo que preferimos hacer:
Cualquier matrimonio un sábado por la noche eligiendo qué película ver, va a necesitar usar “rather”, al menos 5 veces hasta que se pongan de acuerdo. LOL 😂
¿Qué tipo de película preferís ver?
– I’d rather watch a romantic film.
– No way, that’s what we did last weekend! I’d rather watch a horror film than a romantic film.
¿Qué preferís comer?
– I’d rather not eat the leftovers from yesterday.
– Don’t worry, I ate them already, we could order a pizza!
– Okay, but I’d rather have the Hawaiian than the pepperoni this time.
¿En qué idioma preferís ver la película?
– Would you rather watch the original version or the dubbed version?
– I’d rather watch the original version, unless it’s in Mandarin Chinese.
Como has visto, “I’d rather” es como decir I would prefer.
¡OJO!
👉🏻 I’d rather watch a horror film.
👉🏻 I’d prefer TO watch a horror film.
💂♀️ Para hablar de lo que preferimos que hagan otros:
En este caso, al igual que en español, utilizamos el subjuntivo, que en inglés, por suerte, coincide con el “past simple”.
Lo que prefieres hacer tú 👉🏻 I’D RATHER + INFINITIVE

💂♀️ Para hablar de nuestras preferencias en el pasado:

“Rather” también significa bastante, más bien, un tanto, un poco, algo…
My new flatmate is rather shy.

💂♀️ Cuando queremos precisar:
Mejor dicho, más bien, para ser más precisos, etc.

Se le olvidó decírtelo, o mejor dicho, no te lo quería decir.
