had better

[Jetfly444]

and which tense is that?

I had better go

[learnamericanenglish]

@Jetfly444 -- Good question. It's used to describe present and future situations.

nice  tshirt hehehe

[drbandar]

when can I use had better

"in the past"

or like I have to

Thanks

[learnamericanenglish]

@drbandar -- You can use it to describe the present or the future. It's harder to use in the past. Look at the examples:

He'd better be on time today. (future)

You'd better have your assignment. (present)

But if you use it for a past situation, it's kind of awkward:

He had better not have done that. (This sounds really strange, but I hear it used--usually with the negative)

It's better to use "should" in place of "had better" for the past.

Hope that helps.

1. Could you pls shed light on how far in the simple past can the verb'was' and 'wanted' be used.

2.Use of have, has and there negative forms.
