在中，单独考察的题几乎没有，但是语法知识点却贯穿整张试卷，下面是小编为大家整理的英语四级语法知识，希望可以为大家带来帮助，一起来学习一下吧。
　　21.10 would rather表示"宁愿"
　　would rather do would rather not do would rather… than… 宁愿……而不愿。 还有would sooner, had rather, had sooner都表示"宁愿"、"宁可"的意思。
　　If I have a choice, I had sooner not continue my studies at this school. I would rather stay here than go home. = I would stay here rather than go home.
　　典型例题
　　----Shall we go skating or stay at home? ----Which ___ do?
　　A. do you ratherB. would you rather C. will you rather D. should you rather
　　答案B。本题考查情态动词rather的用法，would rather do sth 意为"宁愿"，本题为疑问句，would 提前，所以选B。
