Default someone had better/I'd better/you'd better and so on

I need some help on finding the best way to show my students that when I say You'd better leave now, that is the contraction of had and not would as they tought. I believe saying it would be better for you to leave or you'd better leave is the same , is that correct? And how can I explain them that?
PS: They all speak Portuguese.
