The flashcard tests the correct grammatical structure following 'I'd rather...'. The correct options are 'didn’t compare' (past tense) and 'not compare' (infinitive), both used to express a negative preference with 'would rather'. The usage depends on whether the subjects of the main clause and the subordinate clause are the same or different.
La frase incompleta 'I’d rather … them.' richiede la forma verbale appropriata dopo 'would rather'. Tra le opzioni, 'didn’t compare' e 'not compare' sono le forme corrette per esprimere una preferenza negativa. Nella grammatica inglese, 'would rather' è solitamente seguito da 'not' + infinito o dal passato semplice (se i soggetti sono diversi). Senza ulteriori contesti, 'didn’t compare' (passato) e 'not compare' (infinito) sono entrambe valide a seconda del contesto implicito.
