HAD BETTER

HAD BETTER

Usamos had better para dar consejos o recomendaciones en un tono más fuerte que el de should o must, casi como una amenaza.

We use had better to talk about actions we think people should do or which are desirable in a specific situation. The verb form is always had, not have. We normally shorten it to ’d better in informal situations.

Had better is followed by the infinitive without to: It’s five o’clock. I’d better go now before the traffic gets too bad.Not: I’d better to go now.The democratic movement had better concentrate on the immediate issues of the economy and security. (more formal)
