Would Rather That

Would Rather That - Preference for Another.
Remember that when the preference is another person or thing, would rather that introduces a clause. The other person or thing is the subject of the clause.

S + would rather + that + S + V (past).
I would rather that you go.

S + would rather + that + S + didn’t + verb word.
I would rather that you didn’t go.

Avoid using a present verb or a verb word instead of a pat verb. Avoid using should and a verb word instead of a past verb and avoid using don’t or doesn’t instead of didn’t.
