Do you speak English

[JCoutureJunkie]

Hey,amk933 just meant to ask you whether you can help me out...I really find it hard to build up(and most importantly to get the idea of) sentences with 'would rather' and 'had beter'
Thanks in advance!
btw Will you drop by to...'get together' before leaving for the Emirates?You haven't paid me a visit for quite a long time now.You can also bring Hilary_ (but it's optional) We know how to have a great time,don't we?

I am so busy that I will have to turn down the invitation.

What the hell did I just do...

Anyway. Would rather is more like prefer, whereas had better is much more similar to should.
Let's look at the following sentences:
I would rather throw a party than go to school. This means that I prefer to throw a party, not that I ought to...
But if the doctor says: You had better stay at home until you fully recover. This means that you should. It is not a matter of the doctor's preference - it is a recommendation.

You can also use had better to warn somebody of something:
E.g. You had better watch the way you talk to me! This is a warning. If you say that you will most probably be angry and you will be telling someone not to talk to you any more like this.

Tell me what particularly confuses you since the two constructions are quite different in meaning. Is it the way they form sentences?

Who am I supposed to invite over now?I'm so stressed out and I really need someone to take my mind off things.Let's admit it,nobody can do it better than you I was so partied out the last time we met Promise me you'll come along soon !
Thanks for your help.I think everything is clear to me now.
Off to watch Comedians.Will be back in a while!

btw I've been raving for a pair of Uggs for so long.Any suggestions where to get them from?

Replay?
I spent my day crossing the city streets in 9 cm heels.
With all that snow and ice... ugh. My day began with my falling down on the right side of my athletic butt.
Ouch.
I have German tomorrow as well.
Hey JCouture, what do you do to improve your English? While browsing the thread, I found out you are my age. I myself watch TV series in English (sometimes with English subtitles on, in order to do something like a "hear-and-then-read-dictation"), I also sometimes grab Daphne du Maurier's story medley, and, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, I would watch Cartoon Network until the 7th grade. But now, as we can see, it's all in Bulgarian which turns my ex-favourite channel into a bundle of crap.
How are young kids supposed to advance in English if they don't have CN in English?

amk933, I have been determined to ask you this for a fortnight or longer, but what the hell is the correct way to say "advance" -> advance IN sth, or WITH sth?

[amk933]

Definitely advance IN.

Are you sure I can find the original Uggs there?Cause I've seen hundreds of replicas all over the place but their quality is not satisfactory at all.
Didn't go on the course today for I feel extremely awful I've probably caught some bug.Hope I'll fell better on Monday.
[img]Luscious_Heart[/img] I pretty much watch realities and TV series such as Keeping up with the Kardashians and Gossip girl in English.I read books in English and...study very hard at school.This is my recipe for success.But I have to say that my English is not excellent at all.There're still a whole lot of things to learn.

Sorry to hear you've got sick.
Well I hardly know anything about Uggs in general, why not get some from the Internet?
And yes, English is very rich in vocabulary... It is emphasised on in the Advanced in English exam. The grammar ain't that hard, but there is a great deal of idioms, synonyms, derivatives, etc. But reading is very helpful tho..

I do not live there all the time. I just go often and when I am in Bulgaria I go to the embassy school where all teachers are American and so are most of the students. Plus I don't have to study Bulgarian and neither will I get a Bulgarian diploma. I will be entirely transferring to the US in 2012 and most probably it will be in the Massachusetts/New Heaven area or at least I think so...
