Should / had better Ya has visto que should se utiliza para decir lo que creemos que se debería hacer, dar un consejo o una opinión. Pues had better (o la contracción, 'd better) es otra forma muy coloquial de expresar lo mismo. Afirmativa: sujeto + had better + verbo en la forma base. Significa "Es mejor que" + un verbo en presente de subjuntivo. You'd better turn at the junction. (Es mejor que gires en el cruce). Interrogativa: no se suele usar en interrogativa. Por otra parte, tiene un uso distinto de should, ya que también se utiliza para expresar una advertencia, como avisando al oyente de que algo malo o desagradable le puede ocurrir si no hace lo que le decimos. Entonces significa algo como "Sera mejor que..." o "Más vale que...". You'd better slow down when it's raining. (Será mejor que reduzcas la velocidad cuando está lloviendo) You'd better not drink while driving! (¡Más vale que no bebas mientras conduces!) IES Carlos Cano - Los Barrios (Cádiz)
