I think / I don't think - I'd rather / I 'd prefer to

Week 25^th – 27^th November

This week Mariya came back from her holidays. And on Wednesday we had a new student. Welcome to both of you.

We continued talking about rules and obligation. We also talked about advice and recommendations.

We give advice using should / shouldn’t.

Do you have a headache? You should take an aspirin.

You shouldn’t travel to Thailand during the rainy season. It’s dangerous.

Instead of “should” you can use “ought to.” “Ought to” is a little more obligatory than “should”; but the main difference is that after “ought” you need to

We practised the expressions “would rather” and “would prefer to”

I’d rather have a hamburger for dinner.

I’d prefer to have a hamburger for dinner.

(I’d = I would)

We practised the expressions “I think you should …” “I don’t think you should…”

I think you should book the tickets in advanced.

I don’t think you should take too much luggage.

Remember:

I think I’ll go away next weekend.

I don’t think I’ll go away next weekend .I think I won’t go away next weekend.

We only use the negative form in “I think” “I don’t think”
