You better....

 .Listening ESL Lab-Picnic Preparations

When we want to say a strong "good" to compare things, we use better.  This website is better than that one.  I like chocolate better than vanilla.  Vegetables are better for you (healthier) than pork.

You better _______ (verb) is common to hear, but it is not good formal English.  It's supposed to be you had better, but the had is often 'd and that 'd often disappears.  You'd better is a threatening way to say you must.  If you don't do something you'd better do, there will be consequences.

What had we better do?

Is it a good idea or a bad idea to date many people before you get engaged?  Do you agree with this mother?  Why?
