Quoting robin01: would rather sb did sth
would just as soon sb did sth
would sooner sb did sth
here is the examples:
1.my father says he is going to sell our old car, but i'd sooner he didnt
2.my sister wont give up her present job.i'd just as soon she did
3.okan drives to school everyday, but i'd rather he took a bus instead.
if anyone translate it in turkish and help me the explanation of these construction, i will be really happy.
i totally mixed up here
1.is wrong..my father says he is going to sell our old car,but i'd rather he didn't..this is correct
2.again this is incorrect..my sister won't give up her present job.i'd just rather she did
3. is correct.. but the word instead isn't completely necessary..you can just say okan drives to school everyday, but i'd rather he took the bus..
Like in the Turkish language, English grammatical rules are hard to explain..it is more that the way in which you have phrased these questions an English person would not use them in this way..
1.babam eski araba hile istiyor ama bunu yapmamayi tercih ederim
2.kizkardesim simdiki ise vaz geçmek degil..ama yapamayi tercih ederim..
3.okan hergun araba okula gitti ama otobus yapamayi tercih ederim..
thats my attempt..sorry about the bad turkish..i hope this helps a bit tirrogan..:-S |
