I'd Better X I'd Rather

Hello!

Today we're going to see the difference between "I'd Better" and "I'd Rather".

I'd Rather:
Most common and informal way to express preference.
It's formed by Would + Rather + a verb in its base form:
"I'd rather go home than stay here."

Its negative form is "would rather not":

"I'd rather not stay here and go home."

Its interrogative form is Would + subject + rather + verb in its base form:

"Would you rather watch horror movies or comedy?"

I'd Better:
We use it for advices. It's the same as "Should".
It's formed by Had Better + verb in its base form:
"You'd better pay attention to your teacher."
Its negative form is "had better not", but it's not very used.
"You'd better not talk to them."
There's no interrogative form.
