Had better

We use had better to give a strong advice. It often expresses a threat or warning. It's stronger than should / ought to.

Had better

Structure:

Had better (not) + infinitive verb + rest of the sentence

Had better

Example:

so you had better dry your hair before going outside

It's a cold day

If you don't, you'll catch a cold

Had better
