would rather的用法归纳
would rather的用法归纳Would rather 这个短语在英语学习中可重要啦！咱们今天就来好好归纳一下它的用法。
首先，would rather 最常见的意思就是“宁愿；宁可；更愿意”。
比如说，“I would rather stay at home than go shopping”（我宁愿待在家里也不愿去购物。
）在这个句子里，就清晰地表达出了“更倾向于做某事”的意思。
接下来咱们细说说 would rather 的常见用法。
它后面接动词原形，这是基本规则哦。
就像“ He would rather play football than basketball” （他宁愿踢足球也不愿打篮球。
）要是表示“宁愿某人做某事”，那就要用 would rather ＋主语＋动词过去式。
比如说“ I would rather you came tomorrow ”（我宁愿你明天来。
）这里的动词过去式可不是表示过去的动作，而是一种虚拟语气，表达一种愿望或者假设。
还有哦，如果要表达“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”，除了上面提到的那种方式，还可以用 would rather do sth than do sth 比如“ She would rather read books than watch TV ”（她宁愿读书也不愿看电视。
）给大家分享一件我在教学过程中遇到的有趣事儿。
有一次上课，我讲到 would rather 的用法，让同学们用这个短语造句。
一个调皮的小男生站起来说：“I would rather sleep in class than listen to the teacher”（我宁愿在课堂上睡觉也不愿听老师讲课。
）全班同学哄堂大笑，我也被他的“大胆”逗乐了。
不过笑过之后，我还是认真给他讲解了这种想法可不对，同时也再次强调了 would rather 的正确用法。
再说说 would rather 的否定形式，直接在 would rather 后加 not 就行啦，“I would rather not go swimming today ”（我今天宁愿不去游泳。
英语中 would rather 的用法
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。
I would rather learn a new language than study math.我宁愿学一门新语言也不愿学数学。
She would rather have spent the money on a holiday.她宁愿把钱花在度假上。
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。

He hasn’t smoked a cigarette for two months．他已经有两个月没有抽烟了。
我们可以用it is…since结构，不带副词last：It is two years since he left the country．他离开这个国家已经两年了。
然而，如果想换用一个别的句式，则只能用下面的办法：He left the country two years ago．他两年前离开了这个国家。
在这里不能像上面有关比尔的句子那样用现在完成时的否定形式。
He hasn’t been（living）in this country for the last two years（这两年他没有在这个国家住过）是可以的，但与He left two years ago（他离开两年了）意思不完全等同。
这种结构可以用于一般过去时：He invited me to go riding with him．But it was two years since I had ridden a horse．他邀请我和他一起去骑马。
但那时我已经两年没有骑马了。
（在他邀请我之前，我已经有两年没有骑马了，所以我不知道自己是否还能骑得开心。
