la ex5 punctul 3 ...nu mergea si I'd rather you would stay... ? adica propozitia initiala face referire la viitor apropiat si din cate stiu atunci se foloseste would

Expresia "'d rather" = "would rather" exprima preferinta.

a). Cand subiectele celor doua propozitii sunt identice, Sb1 = Sb2 , dupa "would rather" urmeaza infinitivul scurt cu valoare de subjunctive. "Tom would rather read than talk. / Tom ar prefera sa citeasca decat sa vorbeasca." "Would rather" nu exprima preferinta in trecut, ca urmare nu poate fi urmat de future-in-the-past. [ Future-in-the-past apare intr-o propozitie subordonata a carei regenta are verbul la timpul trecut ]. "Would rather" poate primi infinitivul perfect cu valoare de subjunctive perfect: I'd rather have gone by air. / As prefera sa fi plecat cu avionul.

b). Cand subiectele celor doua propozitii sunt diferite, Sb1 ≠ Sb2, dupa "would rather" urmeaza past simple cu valoare de subjunctive present. "I'd rather you paid in cash." / As prefera ca tu sa platesti in cash. Modelul poate fi folosit si la negativ: "Ann wants to tell mother about us, but I'd rather she didn't [ tell her ]. / Ann vrea sa-i spuna mamei despre noi, dar eu as prefera ca ea sa nu-i spuna.

c). "Rather than" + would" in propozitia a doua. Modelul este posibil in engleza formala, dar fara would in fata lui rather. Deci: Rather than let him go to prison I would pay his fine myself. / Decat sa-l las sa mearga la inchisoare, i-as plati eu insumi / insami amenda.

da ...ce buna e profa !

da ...ce buna e profa !

Teoretic ar fi posibil un "would" cu valoare de past simple al verbului "will" dar ar suna cam asa: I would rather you would stay = As prefera ca tu sa VREI sa stai. Dar nu este nevoie de exprimarea vointei aici, cat de exprimarea preferintei. De aceea nu se foloseste WOULD [ adica trecutul verbului WILL ] dupa would rather. [ ca tu sa VREI sa ] !!!???!!! Preferinta nu impune vointa fortata a cuiva asupra vointei altuia / alteia.
