    Réponse: Rather ou better de lucile83, postée le 25-12-2008 à 17:55:46 (S | E)
    Hello,
    I'd better = je ferais mieux
    I'd rather= j'aimerais mieux
    suivis tous les 2 de l'infinitif sans to.
    I'd rather peut être suivi du prétérit lorsqu'il y a changement de sujet:
    I'd rather he came earlier.

    I'd better = I had better
    I'd rather = I would rather (I had rather ne s'emploie plus en anglais moderne).

    Best wishes.
