Had better

Had better is used to talk about activities and actions that we believe people should take or which
are preferable in a particular circumstance, and to refer to the present or the future. 'Had better' can

be followed by 'infinitive' without adding 'to' between them. Read the sentences below.

It's six o'clock. I'd better go now so I don't miss the train. (✔)
It's six o'clock. I'd better to go now so I don't miss the train. (x)

'Had better' is a strong phrase. We use it when we believe there will be consequences if someone
disobeys the requests or suggestions. See the example.

Rena : Where is Adnan?

Adimas : I don't know.
Rena : He'd better get here soon; otherwise, he couldn't get the author's sign.

Adimas : You're right. I'd better call him now.

Note: In casual situations, people may use had best instead of had better. In informal contexts, we

usually reduce it to 'd better. This sounds a little less forceful and direct. The negative form of
had better is had better not or 'd better not. Read the sentences.

You'd better not leave your phone in the dashboard of your motorcycle. (✔)
You'd not better leave your phone in the dashboard of your motorcycle. (x)

Meanwhile, the interrogative form of had better is by flipping the place of the subject and had.

This signifies the same thing as should, but in a more formal way. Read the sentences.
Had I better speak to my personal trainer about my gym schedule?
