在英语中，would rather 常用来表达偏好，相当于 would prefer，通常表达偏好的人是句子的主语，但是有的时候偏好的人不是句中的主语，那么动作到底是谁发出的呢？这需要从 would rather 的两种不同的结构讲起。
一、would rather1. 肯定句在肯定句中，would rather 常缩略为 'd rather ，结构是：主语 + would rather + 不带 to 不定式，此时句中的动作是主语要发出或已发出的，例如：Peter'd rather spend time on the beach.彼得宁愿花时间在海滩上。

解析：此句意思是 The money wasn’t spent on a holiday.2. 疑问句在疑问句中，结构是 would + 主语 + rather + 不带 to 不定式，此时句中的动作是主语要发出的，例如：Would you rather stay at home?你宁愿呆在家里吗？Would they rather do homework tomorrow morning?他们宁愿明天早上做作业吗？3. 否定句在否定句中，结构是：would rather ('d rather) + not + 不带 to 不定式，此时句中的动作是主语要发出的，例如：She'd rather not go to class today.她宁愿今天不去上课。
I'd rather not dwell on the past.我不想再沉湎于过去了。
二、would rather … thanWould rather 常与 than 连用，用于在两个特定的动作中做出选择，此时句中的动作是主语要发出的或已发出的，would rather 和 than 后面接对等的成分，当前后动词一样时，可以省略后面的动词，例如：Would you rather eat dinner out than cook dinner tonight?今晚你宁愿在外面吃饭也不愿做饭吗？She would rather play tennis than go horseback riding.她宁愿打网球也不愿骑马。

最新整理高中英语wouldrather用法几个关键点解说下面这道试题是考查I’drather后接句子的语气问题，该选哪个？
“Hewillcometomorrow.”“ButI’dratherhe_________thedayaftertomorrow.”
A.willcome
B.iscoming
C.came
D.hadcome
文末有试题分析，如果你感觉很容易做出正确答案，恭喜你可以直接跳过，别浪费宝贵的时间了。
如果感觉模棱两可，还是花点时间研究一下吧：wouldrather主要用来表示“宁愿；宁可”，它有两种用法：不带从句和带从句。
（一）当不带从句时
1、此时，wouldrather直接后接动词原形，如：
正确：We’drathergoonMonday.
错误：We’drathertogo…orWe’drathergoing…
2、其否定形式为直接在wouldrather后接not，如：
I’drathernotfly.Ihateplanes.
3、当我们要表达过去发生的事情时，我们会采用wouldratherhavedone的用法，此时的用法其实是虚拟语气，往往表达与事实相反或不符的情况。
如：Hewouldmuchratherhavebeencrooninginasmokybar
他宁愿在烟雾缭绕的酒吧里哼唱歌曲。
《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》
Shewouldratherhavespentthemoneyonaholiday.
钱没有花在度假上。
（二）当后接从句时
当后接不同主语的从句时，从句中的谓语动词要采用虚拟语气的用法。
如果是对现在或将来情况的描述，从句的谓语动词采用一般过去时的形式；如果是对过去情况的描述，从句的谓语动词采用过去完成时的形式。
如：现在或将来：Iwouldrathertheydidsomethingaboutitinsteadofjusttalkingaboutit.
我宁愿他们为此做些什么，而不只是谈论它。
‘DoyoumindifIsmoke?’‘Well,I'dratheryoudidn't.’
“你介意我抽烟吗？”“嗯，最好别抽。
”
现在或将来：WouldyouratherIwasn’thonestwithyou?
你愿意我对你不诚实吗？
IwouldratherLioneltookiton
我宁愿莱昂内尔负责这件事。
过去：I’dratheryouhadn’trungmeatwork.
我宁愿你工作时不打xxx给我。
（三）wouldmuchrather
当我们要强调时，会采用wouldmuchrather的用法。
在口语中，我们会重读much以示强调。
如：
Hewouldmuchratherhavebeencrooninginasmokybar
他宁愿在烟雾缭绕的酒吧里哼唱歌曲。
《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》
I’dmuchrathermakeaphonecallthansendanemail.
我宁愿打个xxx也不愿发电子邮件。
She’dmuchrathertheydidn’tknowaboutwhathadhappened.
她宁愿他们不知道发生了什么。
要特别注意：
还有wouldsooner,hadrather,hadsooner都表示"宁愿"、"宁可"的意思。
IfIhaveachoice,Ihadsoonernotcontinuemystudiesatthisschool.
如果我有选择的话，我早就没有在这所学校继续学习了。
Iwouldratherstayherethangohome.=Iwouldstayhereratherthangohome.
我宁愿呆在这里也不愿回家
【试题分析】此题容易误选A或B，因为上文的Hewillcometomorrow以及下文的时间状语thedayaftertomorrow似乎都表明空白处应填一个一般将来时态。
但实际上此题的最佳答案是C，这与wouldrather的用法有关。
按照英语习惯，wouldrather后接that从句时，其谓语的时态规律是：用过去式表示现在或将来，用过去完成时表示过去。
又如：
I’dratheryouwenthomenow.我宁愿你现在就回家。
I’dratheryouhadn’tdonethat.我真希望你没有做过那事。
“I’vetoldhimaboutit.”“ButI’dratheryouhadn’t.”“我把这事告诉他了。
”“但我倒宁愿你没有告诉他。
”
“Hewilltakeyouaswell.”“ButI’dratherhedidn’t.”“他将把你也带上。
”“但我倒宁愿不要带我去。
”。
