语法是考研英语的基础，这部分在硕士研究生英语考试中不再单独考查，但是语法知识贯穿在整个英语考卷的各个题型中。考研英语完型填空题会直接考查语法知识;考研英语阅读理解题和英译汉中有大量的长难句，这些句子只有具备一定的语法知识才能正确分析;考研英语作文中要写出正确无误的句子，也需要语法知识。这部分基础如果欠缺，其它的综合能力提高起来将会很慢，所以所有考生都务必重视考研语法的复习。下面新东方在线考研频道为大家分享：“2021考研英语语法基础知识点讲解：would rather”。
would rather
would rather do
would rather not do
would rather… than… 宁愿……而不愿。
还有would sooner, had rather, had sooner都表示"宁愿"、"宁可"的意思。
If I have a choice, I had sooner not continue my studies at this school.
I would rather stay here than go home. = I would stay here rather than go home.
典型例题
----Shall we go skating or stay at home?
----Which ___ do?
A. do you rather B. would you rather C. will you rather D. should you rather
答案B。本题考查情态动词rather的用法，would rather +do sth 意为"宁愿"，本题为疑问句，would 提前，所以选B。
以上就是为大家分享的“ 2021考研英语语法基础知识点讲解：would rather”文章，考研英语语法复习起来应该有所侧重，必须有针对性，否则死扣考研英语语法，不但浪费时间，也不一定能有很好的效果。提醒考生在复习语法过程中要注意以下几个方面：有一本正规的语法书、重点掌握句法、以真题为依托。希望大家能在考研英语中考出高分。
