Would rather & Had better

would rather	had better
would rather + (not) + infinitive would → ‘d # I'd rather not answer this spam call.	had better + (not) + infinitive had → ‘d # You'd better not press that button.
Preferred choice, we can continue the sentence with "than + alternative option" # I'd rather walk (than get a taxi).	Strong recommendation, "or/otherwise + negative consequence" is implied # You'd better follow the instructions (or you'll do something wrong).
