一、后接动词原形
后接动词原形，表示“宁愿做某事”。如：

注：would rather的否定式，通常要将not置于rather之后。如：

二、后接完成式动词
后接完成式动词，表示过去的想法，通常可译为“(本来)宁愿做某事”。如：

“At that time, I would rather have been a factory worker than an animal keeper,” he said. “那时，我宁愿做一个工厂工人，也不愿做动物饲养员，”他说道。
三、后接从句
后接从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气。具体说来，有以下两种情况：
1. 指现在或将来用过去时。如：
I would rather you didn't mention the price. 我愿意你别提价钱。
I'd rather you knew that now, than afterwards. 我宁愿你现在知道而不是以后。
Don't come and see me today—I'd rather you came tomorrow. 今天不要来看我——我希望你们明天来。

“Shall I give you a cheque?” “I' d rather you paid cash.” “我付给您支票行吗?”“我想您最好付现金。”
Ann said that Bill wanted to go alone but that she'd rather he went with a group. 安说比尔想一个人去，但她宁愿他跟一大群人一起去。
2. 指过去用过去完成时。如：
I'd rather he hadn't told me about it 我宁愿他未告诉我这件事。
Kate went by car and I'd rather she hadn't. 凯特是坐汽车去的，我倒愿意她不是坐汽车去的。
I'd rather she had asked me before borrowing the car. 我真希望她先问我一声再借车。
注：有时用于虚拟语气语境中。如：
If I'd lived in 1400, I'd rather have been a knight than a monk. 如果我生活在1400年，我宁愿当骑士，不当修道士。
If she'd had a chance, she'd rather have lived 100 years ago. 如果有机会她宁愿生活在100年前。
四、用于would rather…than…结构
此结构表示“宁愿(做)……而不愿(做)……”。如：

五、用于口语表达I'd rather not
口语中说I'd rather not，表示委婉的不同意，其意为“我宁愿不……”。如：
“Are you coming with us?” “I'd rather not.” “你和我们一起来吗?“”我不想。”
“Some more wine” “Thank you. I'd rather not. I have to drive home.” “再来一点酒好吗？”“不要了，我不能再喝了。我还得开车回家呢。”
