Should为情态动词，意为“应该”，后接动词原形，其否定形式为shouldn’t，变为一般疑问句时， should提到句首。无人称和数的变化。其用法如下：

二、had better的用法

1. You’d better be on time for you lessons.

2. You’d better go and see a doctor.

3. You’d better ask her to come along next time.

4. You’d better take an umbrella with you.

【语法全解】

had better 是一个固定短语，意为“最好”，用于表示对别人的劝告、建议或表示一种愿望。其用法有以下几点：

1. had better 后面必须跟动词原形。

   had better 后跟动词原形（即不带to的不定式），构成had better do sth.短语，had不能用have来替换。

   You’d better go to hospital at once.

   Tom, you’d better go there today.

2. 主语无论是第几人称，无论用什么时态，都要用had better的形式。

   Now you/ he/ we had better listen to the teacher.

3. had better的否定式：常用的否定形式是将not直接放在had better的后面。

否定形式是had better not，缩写形式为’d better not

You had better not miss the last bus.

You’d better not leave for Nanjing the day after tomorrow.

 

4.可以用于指现在。

You had better listen to the radio now.

You had better be quiet.

也可以用于指将来。

You had better start tomorrow.

We had better buy the more expensive one. It will last much longer, so it will be cheaper in the end.

5. had better在表示对别人进行劝告、建议时，不宜用于与陌生人、长辈及上级的交谈中。对长辈说话时，比较有礼貌的说法是It might be better for you----, It would be better for you---等。

It might be better for you to help me, Grandpa.
