In this video, you're going to learn how to use would rather. So let's jump on to my computer and I'll explain exactly how to use this. So here our structure is subject plus would rather and we use this to show that you prefer to have or do one thing more than another. So let's see this in some example sentences. Do you want to watch a movie tonight? Okay. So this is one option, but you want to do something else more. So you can reply back and say, I'd rather play a game. So notice subject would this is commonly going to be a contraction by a native speaker at least. And I encourage you to use the contraction as well. I'd rather and now what do we have base verb? I'd rather play a game. So we have our two activities, watch a movie, play a game and they want to do this one more than this one. Another example, should we clean up the garage tonight? I'd rather do it tomorrow. So this is a very polite expression and it's a nice way to decline an offer or an invitation. So here our choices are tonight or tomorrow. And remember subject would rather base verb. Here's how it's commonly used in a question form. Would you rather give the presentation or answer the questions? So here are the two tasks give presentation, answer the questions. So your colleague wants to know which one you want more. So notice in question form, we start with wood, subject rather and then we have give the base verb. So the only thing we're in doing is inverting the subject and wood. Now in question form, this is actually a very common game we play and the game is called would you rather we play this game when we're bored when you're stuck somewhere like you're stuck at an airport and you're bored and you want to pass the time you can play the game would you rather. So here's the purpose of the game. You give someone a situation that's really funny or bizarre or strange or weird. So here would you rather your only mode of transportation be a donkey or a giraffe. So this is it no cars, no boats, no planes. The only choice you have is a donkey or a giraffe. So the person will answer and then they have to give the reason why and of course it creates some fun conversation. You have some laughs and it's a good way to pass the time and then after this person answers, they have to ask the next question and think of a really funny would you rather. So that's what the game is called would you rather. So to answer this you could simply say I'd rather ride a donkey and then you can give your answer because notice subject would rather base verb.
