EIAM: Would rather
Segments
And, I would rather be in bed today than be in the office we use would rather plus a verb to say what we would ideally prefer to do.
We can also use than to introduce a contrasting idea.
So, for example, I would rather drink tea than drink coffee.
And I would rather watch TV than do my homework.
So practice time.
What are you doing now?
And is there anything that you would rather be doing?
