I'd better
and I'd better not
are very, very common in conversation. In this English class, you will learn what these expressions mean, how to use them, and how not to use them. We will look at many examples of the use of these expressions, and I’ll explain the grammar too. You will also learn about the meaning of you'd better
, which we use to express an order or a strong suggestion. At the end of the video, try my quiz to practice what you have learned.

Hi Emma, you’re a very good teacher, anyone who needs to be learned English should listen to your videos.
Using “had better” with YOU it is threat or warning.
This is recommendation with another cases (we, she, he, they, I). Very interesting.
Have you seen The Granite Canyon near Korostyshev in Zhitomir region yet? That is a very beautiful place too.
this is my first comment!thanks for your lesson
I have a lot to learn in English. I’d better not to miss any lessons by Emma.
Yurgen, I think you’d better say:
“I have to learn English a lot, so I’d better not miss any Emma’s lessons.”
I mean you’d better not use “to” after “I’d better not”
I’d better study English in Engvid today.
Thanks Emma!
I’d better use this website every day.
Thanks for your lessons.
Hey, Amma. What a nice lesson today. Everything is clear as usual. Thanks a lot.
Hi, meliada) just so you know, engVid has a vk group: vk.com/engvid )) join
I’m happy to see the method of teaching thanks Emma I would like to have you on Facebook
Emma, thank you for the lesson, but I always keep wondering why
I HAD better, but not it IS better or I WOULD better,
because actually for me those three expressions mean the same.
I had better go.
I would better go.
It is better to go (for me).
Are the last two expressions ever used? Thank you.
Hi Emma, it was so interesting to listen your lesson, it helps me so much with all of my question about this topic. See you next time.
It’s a great lesson Emma thanks.
I had had a question in you tube before.and I would write it here again.

Hi,Emma,although I haven’t watched the video yet, I did the quiz and got 9 correct of 10. The for the superb lessons!
I got 9/10.Thank you soo much Emma
Emma i have a doubt. what should we call someone elder to us with respect. like in our language we call them ‘DIDI’
Maybe haven’t in English, I think. In China, we use ‘您’ to express more respective of ‘you’.
Doubt or question?
If I want to learn English better, I’d better use new words I learnt today and practice them as possible as I can.
Thanks Emma.
hi Emma I’m Richard from colombia, south america and with all due respect I have to say that you are not only a gorgeous girl but also an excellent teacher, really really excellent, all your videos are amazing I’ve learnt a lot, thank you, Emma. I would also like to ask you a question, this is the problem: some times I see a word and I understand its meaning, no problem, the difficulty is that I don’t remember the correct pronunciation or I don’t know how it should be pronounced (it drives me up a wall !), what can I do in this case? how do native speakers pronounce when they don’t know a word? how do you pronounce when you find a new word, for example when you haven’t seen a word before or the name of someone that could be new for you? HOW, EMMA? I’d appreciate it if you could help me, thanks… bye “Pretty Woman” god bless you.
great to learn here. emma taech very well
you are an excellent teacher in this lesson i’d better learn where to use i’d better.

Hi Emma. Thank you for the good english
classes.
A boy lied to his mother about a fight at school. The mother says to her son, “You’d better ____________________.”
be lying to me
not be lying to me
not be lie to me
be lie to me
Emma please, why lying ? the grammar is I’d better no + verb ?
hello, thank you for your class. hello from brazil
a really amazing lesson, thanks a lot
thank you so much
I got 8 correct out of 10. thank emma
Emma, I appreciate your good work, keep it up! the one who rewards for a good deed is God. I only got 9 questions correctly but failed one out of 10. I just clicked on the wrong answer from the option provided in number 10, it was a mistake. I did not intend to click , it was on ”I’d better” that I mearnt to click on.
Oh no! Please accept this cat gif as a consolation prize.
What does it mean? In my regional dailect, cat is a symbolical representation of witchcraft operation, spiritual affliction and invisible impediment to progress.
I’m very sorry for offending you! Cat photos/gifs/memes are a big part of Internet culture—they’re like the Internet’s official animal. That’s why I like to post cat pictures in comments.
Here in North America, black cats are associated with witches and bad luck. In China and Japan, a waving cat symbolizes prosperity, and people put the little statues in their shops for good luck.
I get %70 oh my gush
what,s the difference between i,d better and must.
must it means somthings is very necessary and i,d better means good idea.is this true
very good lesson
I’m not understand why ” not be lying to me ” is correct. Lying = Mentira and Lie = Mentir
Thanks alot
thanks emma I understand very well

Thank you Emma, nice lesson!
